Many know Opinel for their French-made clasp knives. Apparently, they also make kitchen knives which are popular in Europe. The new Nomad Cooking Kit is a bit of a crossover.
The kit consists of two folding knives (one is serrated), a folding vegetable peeler, corkscrew, along with a cutting board and cloth.
Available this fall from www.opinel-usa.com.
Opinel folding clasp knives are quite traditional. They’ve have been around for over 125 years, but for the No12 Explore model, Opinel has updated materials as well as design.
