Opinel Kit maintenance 2024

An intelligent kit

This maintenance kit contains a range of useful accessories to keep your knives in good condition.

Sharpening the blade
Regular sharpening of the blade is crucial to maintaining the cutting quality of your knife. Use the stone soaked in water to sharpen blades. It is important to maintain the original sharpening angle of the blade for best results (approximately 20°).

Using maintenance oil
The use of maintenance oil is important to protect the blade, ferrule and handle of your knife. Maintenance oil helps to prevent rust and corrosion and also helps to protect the wood of the handle. Apply a small amount of maintenance oil to the blade and handle and spread it evenly with a soft cloth. Be sure not to leave any excess oil on the knife, as this may attract dirt and dust.

Preserving the knife
To preserve your pocket knife in the best possible condition, it is important to store it correctly. Avoid leaving your knife in direct sunlight or in damp places. Store it in a safe, dry place, away from children.
