The Opinel N05 is the largest model that does not feature the Virobloc safety ring. This little knife is commonly used to perform small tasks such as opening letters or boxes. Stabilized beechwood is ultra-resistant and comfortably contoured to fit the hand. The blade is made from X90 Carbon steel, with a high carbon content, which is what makes it possible to achieve excellent hardness after heat treatment, guaranteeing the strength of the cutting edge, resistance to wear, and ease of sharpening. The hardness obtained after heat treatment are theoretically slightly greater in steels that do not contain chrome. The cutting strength is, therefore, better with a carbon steel knife and sharpening is much easier than stainless steel blades which contain chrome. However, carbon has a low resistance to corrosion caused by moisture, which means that certain precautionary measures are necessary when using and storing carbon steel knives: it is recommended that you avoid damp environments and that you dry the blade after each use.
