The Opinel No. 114 Vegetable Knife in Red brings a fresh pop of color and a whole lot of slicing power to your kitchen prep. Designed with traditional French craftsmanship and updated with modern materials, this nimble knife is a reliable tool for any cook who values both beauty and performance in their kitchen gear. From slicing strawberries to peeling apples or prepping root vegetables, it’s built to handle a wide range of delicate kitchen tasks with precision and style.
The 2.75-inch hawkbill blade is crafted from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, a high-quality alloy known for its outstanding sharpness, edge retention, and resistance to corrosion. Its curved shape follows the natural motion of your hand and guides the blade smoothly through produce. That sweep of the blade makes it easier to create controlled, clean cuts, especially around rounded edges and irregular shapes. Whether you're scoring citrus, trimming herbs, or delicately carving garnishes, the No. 114 is up to the task.
This knife features a hidden tang, providing a clean and streamlined look without compromising on strength. It gives the knife a well-balanced feel in hand, contributing to its nimbleness and ease of control. Weighing just 0.8 ounces and measuring 6.6 inches overall, the No. 114 is featherlight but never flimsy. It’s the kind of tool you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again, especially when precision counts and speed matters.
The handle is made from beech wood—long favored by knife makers for its comfort, durability, and warm, organic texture. Finished in a bold red varnish, the handle adds a cheerful accent to your kitchen toolset while offering protection against moisture. It’s shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, allowing for a secure grip during repetitive tasks or quick slicing jobs.
The Opinel No. 114 Vegetable Knife is part of a proud heritage of French cutlery excellence. Opinel has been handcrafting knives in the Savoie region of France since the 19th century, and their reputation for quality is well earned. This knife continues that legacy, offering functional elegance and practical performance in a design that feels timeless and contemporary all at once.
