Opinel Knives Factory Tour - Chambery, France

[@janrobertbos]

...best knives ever, cannot beat price and quality...is as simple as that...😀

[@Robin6512]

I got my first opinel about 50 years ago. I still use them. The plain Jane au carbon ones.

[@ThrillsInBrazils]

Beef jerky fajitas! I don’t know why I haven’t thought of this before. There are many meat and flavor options that can keep it fresh each time.

[@glennbayley5863]

Fantastic knifs i have been using openl for more than thirty years spectacular

[@scetis]

Bacon and Mushroom Risotto! My girls and I love these knives. My oldest daughter just got the 12 and I got the #2… we seem to be able to come up with a use for each size! Thanks for taking us on such an amazing tour… definitely going to add that to our bucket list!

[@ChefCorso]

Right on!

[@DonnieX6]

Yay, this is great! Love this knife, have around 10 or so here... 😅

[@-Agis-]

Same 🤩 Got the No. 08 in beech wood, oak, olive (the regular, the slim and the black blade), walnut, padouk, ebony and all 3 colours in laminated birch.. I missed out on the 08 with forged blade and ebony handle, hope they will make more of those! 🤞🏻

[@ostekuste3646]

I met one of the factory reps at a vendor event here in the US recently. Being a long time fan of Opinel we talked shop for a good while. I had my 1950s era edc with me (pre lock). Bought the neat little spoon and fork set, and she gave me a keychain model No. 2. Really nice people and knives.

[@ChefCorso]

Very cool!

[@campagnard_francais]

Thanks for taking the time to shine some light on our lovely country and a great kinfe. 👍

[@JohnJCaputo]

Thanks for sharing this factory tour with us. It was really enjoyable. A No. 8 (I may have a few to choose from 😂) is what’s usually found in my pocket - it’s hands down my favorite pocket knife.

[@campbell3c1]

I like modding my opinel knives....I've even added a pocket clip before!

why not, wish i would have thought of that.

[@chrisanderson667]

Broccoli Beef with Rice looks like a good one on the trail, too!

I love the French classic Cassoulet, cast iron on a wood fire. Canada goose when it is available to me. Thanks for the tour, I hope to see it in person. I bought a lot of their knives in Paris at their store, my EDC is the opinel mushroom knife.

[@chili1593]

Love their knives

[@the_orange_shepherd6938]

Oooo can’t wait to watch! I wish they had the picnic kit work with the peeler too…. Then I could have a no 8 and a peeler to prep with and a fork and knife side by side to eat with…. A man can dream!

[@freemandrew]

Opinel makes a great knife for Cub Scouts or GS Juniors. The blade is easy to open, doesn't snap open or shut, and the ring lock is very intuitive.

[@ChefCorso]

love it

[@doughamm57]

Pad Thai, my #7 is always in the cook kit. Great tour!

[@ChefCorso]

Good choice!

[@WildMindLife]

Since the first time you have mentioned this knifes I have wanted one. I love the family story. Definitely want to try Italian Pepper Steak.

[@mathieulantagne3462]

Great knife, great location, great people. Opinel knife are my favorite knife. Of course you can use them to eat Mushroom Trio Pasta 😋

[@johntabner1500]

Opinel 12 blade my every day carry got my first one when I was 12 60yrs old and still think it's a great knife

[@campbell3c1]

[@chrisfinley]

It was fun learning more about Opinel. I still need to perfect an egg dish, so Verde Veggie Scramble.

[@traveledits_1]

Amazing 😊😊

[@18echo]

Cool video , it was very enjoyable and interesting ,from the pretty hostess at the factory to the cool interaction of the owner and yourself, and the nice recipe at the park . 👏👏👏👏🤩

[@skulleigh5867]

I want to make the Black Forest Compote. I have a no. 7 with a pretty blue handle that lives in my hiking pack. Love it.

[@the_orange_shepherd6938]

My recipe of choice would be the Bacon & Mushroom “Risotto” it’s on my to do list when I can harvest mushrooms in the spring. (Yes I already have the mushroom knife ready to go form Opinel lol) thanks for the chance!

[@beerdrinker6452]

This video entered my KZbin feed because I just purchased six #8 knives as birthday and Christmas presents. Very fair price for excellent pocket knives. I will be buying more.

[@Moorlandbushcraft]

Creamy Chicken Fajita Bowl sounds nice

[@hamm336]

This video is great. So my recipe is " Creole Pasta " . I have made is and it is so tasty. Hope you are having fun in France.

[@ChefCorso]

cheers! I like that one too

[@jamesfaria6764]

I loved the factory tour and museum. My recipe choice is hiker tacos.

[@craigalea4749]

Chicken Tikka Masala Big fan of your recipes. Big fan of Opinel knives. The first time I saw one was from my French neighbor when I grew up in Florida. I bought a number 4 carbon several years ago. Enjoyed the video and the history. You have been an inspiration. Thank you for all you do.

[@ChefCorso]

cheers Craig! thanks for coming along

[@timberboy1984]

I now have a few bought my first one a number 6 carbon steel years ago. Bought another one two weeks ago a number 8 stainless.

[@ChefCorso]

Right on!

[@popcopone5172]

i m really curious, which one you like the most and see your self carrying the most, the 6 or 8? want to buy one and am stuck between these 2 sizes.

[@ChefCorso]

@@popcopone5172 it all depends on the size of your hand. #8 is good for me

[@timberboy1984]

@ I carry both regularly I like the smallness of the 6 for everyday and the 8 if I’m hunting or food prep. Although both do the job every well.

[@popcopone5172]

@@timberboy1984 thanks

[@mr.somebody1493]

Great video.

[@heidih2887]

Got my first Opinel folding knife in the very early 1980's. The perfect picnic accessory! 🥰 One recipe I want to try is Cashew Chicken. Based on ingredients, a bit of instant rice or ramen noodles on the side sounds good too! 🥰

[@orfgenad]

Pizza Trail Tacos were a huge hit with my fussy eating kids. Now they eat all pizza with chili flakes!

[@ChefCorso]

Love it!

[@mjohns66]

Creole Pasta Love there #8 with the "picnic kit" I think they call it with the spoon and fork you can "insert" and retain with the lock ring. Edit: I see you did end up showing it later on in the video.

[@christopherbattles68]

Black Bean & Egg Breakfast Burritos Fun video. Have some of their knives/tools on wish list. Gracias.

[@vicselixir]

Baja tuna trail tacos are the bomb. Taco 🌮

[@lildevilgamer]

[@lesleysmith8815]

I love Opinel knives and was very interested to see how they were made. Thank you. However, I was disappointed how you Americanised this recipe, as though Americans were your only viewers!

[@ChefCorso]

Hey L. Glad you enjoyed the tour. And all I did with this version of Ratatouille is make easy to cook up outdoors in a camp pot. It's the same ingredients in any country. Cheers!

Broccoli Beef with Rice

[@micca5709]

Most generic boring knife related video ever made

[@BrokenBarBox]

Why do people think being a complete dick to a stranger is cool, or acceptable behavior?

[@BrokenBarBox]

Most boring and generic rude comment ever made

@@BrokenBarBox I just thought it was too short, I wanted more knife footage! That is my usual feeling seeing knife vids.

[@michamcv.1846]

just letting you know , the face on the videocover made me wanne not watch this video ...

[@BrokenBarBox]

Just so you know, being a dick to a complete stranger is not cool. Please work on that, k?

[@PeterS-r4o]

What a wonderfully charmless comment - you must be so proud.

[@BrokenBarBox]

Why would you feel compelled to be so rude to a total stranger?

[@tumbleweed6658]

very cool video I have 3 Opinels knifes so simple it's brilliant. Pizza Trail Tacos. simple and let's face it you could do a small back pack, camp stove boom you got a nice meal.

[@ChefCorso]

indeed!

[@mattvanderwalt6220]

Hiker Pasta. Since I received my forst Opinel as a gift 20 years ago its been one of my go to pocket tools. The no.6 for its size makes a mean salad baguette.

[@ChefCorso]

love it!

[@TorstenNielsenDK]

Beer Cheese Soup - big fan of Opinel 🌼🥣
