He had a passion for new machines and innovative technologies which led him build his own camera and then eventually turn his focus to an object he could manufacture with modern techniques, even though it was against his father’s wishes. He spent his free time refining the shape and manufactured a small pocket knife: the Opinel was born! Joseph had the idea of making his knife into different sizes which would be suitable to different hand sizes or used for various tasks. So, in 1897, he developed 12 different sizes numbered from 1 to 12. Commercial success followed and he soon left his father's blacksmith workshop. His factory, located at Chambéry in the heart of the Alps, is still run by the descendants of Joseph Opinel and manufactures items whose quality has made the brand famous for nearly 130 years. The collection contains knives and pocket tools for DIY, sport, outdoors activities and gardening as well as kitchen knives and table knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eyou are making a difference:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily run business.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople-centric approach with a focus on maintaining and developing jobs in the local area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe company respects the environment with the aim of reducing the impact of the business on nature by sorting and recycling of waste and their anti-waste policy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to last.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003efeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong and efficient.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding pocket knife design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic Opinel blade with a Yatagan shape, inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural Beech wood handle from France.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirobloc safety ring was invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, and is fitted to all folding knives.
