## Long description

The Opinel Les Forges 1890 meat knife (model 002290) is a purpose-built kitchen knife for cutting, trimming and portioning meat. It belongs to the Les Forges 1890 line and combines a forged steel blade with the traditional Opinel design, giving a robust edge suitable for repeated use in domestic and professional kitchens. The blade geometry and weight balance are intended to provide controlled slicing and efficient cutting through various types of meat.
Advantages
The forged steel blade offers increased toughness and edge retention compared with stamped alternatives, while the single-piece construction improves stability and resistance to bending during heavy-duty tasks. The handle ergonomics are designed for a secure grip to reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The knife is easy to maintain, sharpenable to a fine edge and compatible with standard kitchen sharpening tools.
Suitable for
 Slicing raw and cooked meat
 Trimming fat and silver skin
 Portioning roasts, poultry and large cuts
 Butchery prep in home and small professional kitchens
Key specifications
 Blade material: forged carbon/mild steel (forged construction)
 Blade type: straight-edged meat/carving blade
 Blade profile: narrow, slightly tapered for controlled slicing
 Handle: ergonomic design for secure grip (material: traditional Opinel handle material)
 Intended use: cutting, trimming and portioning meat
How to use
Hold the knife with a firm grip on the handle and position the blade at a shallow angle for slicing tasks. Use long, even strokes when carving roasts to achieve clean slices; for trimming and portioning, apply steady pressure and small controlled cuts. Ensure the cutting board is stable and the product being cut is secured. After use, rinse and dry the knife promptly to avoid moisture contact with the blade and maintain its condition.
Usage recommendations
Regularly hone and periodically sharpen the blade with an appropriate stone or steel to maintain cutting performance. Store the knife in a protective sheath or knife block to protect the edge. Avoid prolonged exposure to acidic or salty liquids and do not use the knife on frozen items or as a pry tool to prevent chipping or damage.
