Meat knife Opinel N°120

The Opinel N°120 meat knife features a 16 cm stainless steel blade designed for precise slicing of cooked and raw meats. The balanced handle and streamlined blade profile allow for controlled, uniform cuts while reducing effort and tear. Constructed for regular kitchen use, this knife combines a slim, long blade with a comfortable grip to support accuracy when portioning roasts, joints, and larger pieces of meat.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade offers corrosion resistance and retains a sharp edge suitable for fine slicing. The blade length and shape are optimized to make continuous, clean strokes, which reduces shredding and helps preserve the texture of meat. The handle ergonomics support a steady hold during repetitive cutting tasks, and the overall construction provides reliable everyday performance in domestic kitchens.

How to use

For best results, rest the blade against the meat and use long, even strokes from the heel toward the tip without excessive sawing motion. Stabilize the joint or roast with a fork or your free hand (using a protective glove if needed) and allow the blade length to make full cuts. Use light pressure and let the sharp edge do the work; resharpen when slices become ragged. Clean and dry the knife after each use to maintain blade condition.

Usage recommendations

Use the Opinel N°120 meat knife for controlled slicing of larger pieces and cooked roasts. Keep the edge honed and avoid cutting on very hard surfaces to extend blade life.
