This Opinel Nº3 is cataloged by the French manufacturer as a "Small and Intelligent" piece, since it has a compact size, ideal to carry at any time or situation of the day to day. Opinel small models are very useful for sewing, sculpting, model making or as paper cutters.

Sandvik 12C27 steel
For the manufacture of the blade of this Opinel No. 3 Stainless, a type of anticorrosive steel has been used thanks to the addition of chromium, which does not require any special maintenance. In addition, it has a high carbon content of at least 0.40% to obtain an excellent sharpness as a result.

This material has a fine carbide microstructure to improve its high performance in relation to wear resistance. Its specific composition is 0.40% carbon, 13.5% chromium, 0.40% silicon and 0.40% manganese. Its hardness will reach 55HRC.

Clip Point blade style
Opinel's French developers have developed a Bowie-style steel blade, which forms a very fine point, ideal for piercing objects or textures. In addition, this knife profile allows for increased control and strength by the user.

The cutting edge is straight, so the work surface is maximized and good results are obtained in large cuts, in a much cleaner way. The combination of the blade profile together with the characteristics of the edge make this small-sized knife a powerful weapon.

Beech wood scales
French designers use this type of material frequently to develop the ergonomic handles of their knives, as happens with the Inox Nº3. The appearance of this natural wood has a homogeneous appearance and is recognizable by its presence with irregular grains.

The handle is varnished to be better protected against moisture and dirt. In addition, the structure is completely ergonomic, so it will respond effectively to the fatigue produced by constant use of the knife, as well as in extreme environmental conditions.
