Is the Opinel Intempora chef knife dishwasher safe? No — and that's by design. Like all premium full tang knives, hand washing protects the edge and finish. Clean yours with warm water, mild soap, and immediate drying; the 12C27 Swedish stainless steel resists corrosion and wipes clean in seconds.
What angle should I sharpen an Opinel Intempora chef knife? Maintain a 20-degree edge on a whetstone or honing steel for best results. White streaks on the handle are typically mineral deposits or moisture residue — remove them with a soft cloth and a drop of food-safe mineral oil.
Compared with entry-level stamped knives, the Intempora's full tang construction delivers superior balance and durability. Against costlier full tang chef knives in the $80–$150 range, the Opinel delivers comparable 12C27 steel performance at $49.50 — a genuine deal for shoppers comparing price and value.

Sliced through a butternut squash like it was butter. Full tang feels solid in hand and the price at Cutter's Bench was unbeatable.
I've been using this for about six weeks of daily prep. Holds an edge decently, cleans up easily, and the balance is better than I expected at this price point. Handle could be a touch more ergonomic for long sessions, but no complaints otherwise.
Bought this on a whim during the 50% off sale and honestly didn't expect much. It's become my go-to knife. The 12C27 steel takes a very keen edge and resists staining even after cutting citrus and tomatoes. For under fifty bucks, this thing punches way above its weight class.
Decent performer for the money. The blade is quite thick compared to my old knife, so it wedges a bit in dense carrots. Edge retention is fine though.
Exactly what I wanted.
Been cooking family dinners for thirty years and this knife does everything I ask. Chops onions fine, handles a whole chicken without complaint. Wash it by hand and it still looks new after months. Good honest tool, no gimmicks.
The knife itself seems nice, but mine came with a tiny chip near the edge. Customer service handled it, but the hassle knocked a star or two off.
As a college kid learning to actually cook instead of microwaving everything, this was the perfect starter. Light, scary sharp, and easy to control. My roommate is jealous.
The Intempora line is Opinel's modern take and it works. Handmade in Portugal and the fit and finish shows it. Only wish the spine came slightly more finished, but a minute with a stone fixed that.
I own a handful of premium knives and picked this up just to test the hype. The 12C27 steel is genuinely impressive — takes a razor edge and hasn't rusted or discolored once. It's now the knife I reach for first. At $49.50 it's almost a steal.
