How the Bruno Chaperon Knife Is Made
Bruno Chaperon, a French woodworker of 25+ years trained at the famous Arts Décoratifs and Beaux-Arts de Paris, developed and patented the intricate sinusoidal marquetry design on this knife. Every handle is made by hand in Opinel's woodshop, meaning no two knives are identical.
What Woods Are in the Handle?
Four kinds of wood form the sinusoidal pattern: Walnut, Rosewood, Wengé, and Ashwood – laminated into flowing waves over the classic No.08 body. The stainless steel blade is polished for an elegant finish.

Caring for a Marquetry Handle
Keep the handle dry, avoid prolonged soaking, and occasionally treat the wood with a light coat of wood-safe oil to preserve the luster of the four-wood pattern.
