Over The Years, A Wide Variety Of Variations On The Basic Type Have Been Developed, Using Wood From Oak, Walnut, Olive, Or Hornbeam. Other Materials Such As Hornwood Are Sometimes Used. The Blades Are Also Made Of Stainless Steel, Making These Knives Almost Maintenance-Free.[Edit] Construction
The Same Knife, After Turning The Locking Ring, Ready To Close

The Construction Of Opinel Knives Is Very Simple; It Consists Of Three Or Four Parts: The Blade, The Wooden Handle, A Riveted Metal Band Holding The Blade, And (Except For Small Models) A Ring To Lock The Blade In Position, Protecting The User’S Hand From Unexpectedly Closing The Knife. The Ring Was Introduced In 1955.[Edit] Sizes
