Opinel Le Petit Chef: an adventure in the kitchen for your children

Features of the Opinel Le Petit Chef knives

Safety first

Safety is this knife collection's number one priority. That's why each knife features a plastic ring at the end of the handle, which ensures the children hold the knife in the correct way. It keeps their fingers at a nice distance from the sharp edge. There's also a finger guard to keep the fingers of their non-dominant hand safe, while promoting the correct way to hold an ingredient that you're cutting.

High quality and simple design

Opinel is a French brand, known for their high-quality products for reasonable prices. The knives of the Petit Chef collection are made from Sandvik 12C27 steel. This is a premium type of steel known for its corrosion resistance and sharpness retention. The handles are made from wood.

Designed for children's hands

Sometimes, you'll find knives advertised as children's knives, but that are not actually designed for children. These knives are simply smaller versions of regular kitchen knives. While this might be alright for older children, most parents would feel safer with more safety precautions. In that case, it's smart to choose knives that were developed with children in mind.
