Little knives for all your little tasks.
Add a set of small specialty knives to your kitchen arsenal—they’re from the cult-status French brand Opinel, who have been manufacturing high quality knives since 1890. (You might know them for their famed pocket knife, which happily travels wherever you go). Each piece features a wood-handled stainless steel blade made with care in the French Alps.
The pantry knife is used the same as a paring knife: peeling and chopping vegetables and fruit, and trimming cuts of meat. Cut through tomatoes and eggs undisturbed with the the serrated knife. The vegetable knife has a curved blade with a serrated back edge (use the serrated edge for gently scraping young, tender vegetables clean, and the opposite side to cut them tidily). Whip out the vegetable peeler for carrots and potatoes—its small stature makes it very easy to wield, and it has a pointed tip to dig out brown spots or tubers. True to their name, this fab four is an essential starter kit for kitchens large or small. Now chop chop!
