TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS :

Construction :

• Sandvik modified 12C27 stainless steel : this steel capable of undergoing the heat treatment which gives it its good hardness is called martensitic. It has a carbon content of at least 0.40%, which gives it a very good cutting edge without being susceptible to corrosion
• Traditional Yatagan blade: its shape is inspired by a Turkish sword, the point is raised. The blade is ground according to an exclusive bomb profile which guarantees the sturdiness of the blade and allows efficient sharpening
• Handle made of oak wood: from French farms, it is hard and very resistant to insects and fungi thanks to its high tannin content. The handle is varnished to be better protected against humidity and dirt
• Safety ring : Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, the Virobloc safety ring is used on all closing knives from N06 onwards. Cut in stainless steel, the Virobloc is made of two parts : a fixed part and a sliding part. This process allows the blade to be locked in the open position (safe to use), as well as in the closed position (safe to transport).
• Handle length: 11 cm
• Length of the blade: 8.5 cm
