This **Opinel Les Forgés boning knife** is perfect when removing meat from bones. But you can also use it to remove tendons and fat. The blade has a straight spine, smooth edge and a sharp tip. This knife stands out because of its robustness, perfect balance, sustainability and excellent cutting qualities.

 ## Handle from beech wood

 The handle on this kitchen knife is made from stabilized beech wood. The wood is stabilized by adding synthetic resin with the help of some heat and under high pressure. By stabilizing the wood it won't be affected as much by temperature and moisture. In addition, it enables the manufacturer to add an extra colour. Opinel selected a nice, deep, dark-brown colour which makes the knife look very luxurious and unique.

 Be aware of the fact that materials such as wood have a natural variation. The knife you receive can therefore be subtly different from the product photos. The model and type of material, however, will always be the same. As such all knives are unique. This is also what makes them so special.

 ## Solid X50CrMoV15 steel

 The blade is forged from one piece of X50CrMoV15 steel that is also a part of the entire handle. As such the balance is excellent. This type of steel is stainless, wear and tear resistant and hard enough to cut and peel, for instance, vegetables, fruit or potatoes. That is why it is a popular choice for knives made in Europe.

 ## Maintenance Les Forgés

 Kitchen knives from the Les Forgés collection are not dishwasher proof. Wash them by hand and immediately dry them afterwards. The handle is waterproof. However, you shouldn't let the knife soak in water. Wash it, dry it and store it.

Couteau assez lourd à l'utilisation. C'est ce que je recherchais car je suis plus à l'aise pour travailler avec quelque chose de "massif" en main mais cela pourrait en rebuter certains. Du coup il est très agréable pour moi à utiliser. 
Ce modèle de taille moyenne est polyvalent à mon sens. Je m'en sers pour presque tout et c'est ce que je recherchais aussi en achetant ce modèle particulier.
Par contre, j'ai remarqué une légère imperfection sur le dessus de la lame très légèrement "creusée" à un endroit. Mais c'est à peine perceptible et je chipote un peu, c'est mon côté maniaque :) Peut-être un petit coup de meule un peu trop fort de l'ouvrier à cet endroit? Ce qui n'est pas vraiment un reproche en soi et qui rappelle le côté artisanal de la fabrication et son côté authentique qui fait que chaque couteau serait différent des autres...
Bref... un bon achat que je recommanderai de oute façon sans hésitation.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.

For the number of knives in the knife sets we stick to the information supplied by the manufacturer. Some brands consider the block to be part of the set, others don't.
