Hand made in Germany since 1840, these rosewood handle knives are a carbon steel alternative to our Opinel picnic knives.

A new batch of Opinel knives have just arrived at Brook Farm General Store. These knives, widely considered a design classic, have been made in the Savoie region of France by the Opinel family for over one hundred years.
Joseph Opinel invented the Opinel folding knife in 1890, and had sold over 20 million by World War II. In 1985 the Victoria and Albert museum included the knife in their exhibition, 100 Most Beautiful Objects in the World.
The folding knife has hardly changed since its creation. Some safety features have been added including a lock ring.
We sell the classic No. 8, which has a beechwood handle and stainless steel blade.
We also have a fancier version with a horn handle.
Recently Opinel have introduced a line of kitchen knives. We sell the Bread Knife and a set of assorted essential kitchen knives.
