The Opinel No. 113 Slicing Knife in Red is a colorful, compact companion in any kitchen, built with the kind of care and simplicity that makes cooking more enjoyable. Light, nimble, and easy to handle, it’s ideal for slicing fruits, vegetables, and small meats with precision and ease. Whether you’re prepping fresh strawberries for a dessert or dicing onions for a hearty soup, this kitchen essential delivers clean, accurate cuts every time you reach for it.
At the center of its performance is a 3.93-inch plain edge blade made from high-quality stainless steel. Renowned for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, this Swedish steel is tough enough to handle daily kitchen use and gentle enough for delicate slicing. The blade features a slicing-friendly profile that glides effortlessly through soft or firm foods without crushing or tearing, helping you maintain control and finesse at every stage of prep.
With a hidden tang construction and an overall length of 7.88 inches, the No. 113 is thoughtfully balanced for comfort and stability. It weighs just 0.9 ounces, making it one of the most lightweight yet efficient slicing tools in any kitchen drawer. That featherlight design keeps hand fatigue at bay during long prep sessions and makes it easy to carry along to camp kitchens or picnic spreads.
What makes this knife stand out even more is its warm, rich red handle—crafted from sustainably harvested beech wood and coated in a protective varnish. The handle is shaped to fit naturally in the hand, giving you a secure and confident grip, whether you’re making thin citrus slices or prepping herbs for garnishes. The wood’s smooth finish and natural grain bring a subtle elegance to your kitchen toolkit, while the red hue adds a bold splash of color that feels both timeless and modern.
Made in France by Opinel, a trusted name in blades since 1890, the No. 113 reflects generations of craftsmanship and simple, effective design. It pairs traditional materials with thoughtful engineering to offer the kind of reliability home cooks count on day after day. It’s also easy to maintain and sharpens beautifully, so you can keep it ready for years of reliable service.
