Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our legendary blades and home essentials.
How should I care for my carbon steel blade?
Carbon steel requires specific care to prevent rust. We recommend wiping the blade dry immediately after use and applying a light coating of food-grade oil regularly. Avoid leaving it in damp environments or soaking it in water.
Are Opinel knives dishwasher safe?
We strongly recommend hand-washing all Opinel knives. The high heat and harsh detergents in dishwashers can damage the wooden handles and dull the blades. Dry your knife immediately after rinsing.
What is your return policy for home and kitchen tools?
We offer a 30-day return policy for unused items in their original packaging. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact our support team to initiate a return or exchange.
Do you offer international shipping?
Yes, we ship to a wide variety of countries. Shipping costs and delivery times are calculated at checkout based on your location and the weight of your order.
What does the Opinel limited lifetime warranty cover?
Our warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. It does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, or damage caused by improper maintenance.
How do I sharpen my Opinel knife?
For best results, use a natural sharpening stone or a diamond steel at a 20-degree angle. Consistent, light strokes will maintain the edge without removing excessive metal.
