Reaches every last bit of jam
The long, slim blade gets right to the bottom corner of the jam jar where a butter knife gives up. The hornbeam handle has a warm, natural feel and the non-serrated INOX blade spreads without tearing soft bread. Charming and useful — very Opinel.

My new favorite breakfast tool
Smooth spreads, clean in the dishwasher's top rack, and it looks lovely on the table. Bought a second one for the cottage.

Sweet little knife
Does the job beautifully for butter and soft cheese. The wood handle needs hand drying to stay nice, which is fair enough. guests comment on it every time.

Finally, a proper spreader
I've been using regular dinner knives for Nutella my whole adult life like a fool. This thing spreads evenly, scrapes the jar clean, and the non-serrated edge means no shredded sandwich bread. Ten dollars extremely well spent.

Nice but niche
Well made and the blade shape is clever for deep jars. Just be honest with yourself about how much you need a dedicated spreading knife. Mine mostly lives in the drawer between cheese boards.

Form and function
The natural hornbeam has that classic Opinel look and feels great in the hand. Spreads cold butter without wrecking toast, which is the real test. I own three now because they migrate around the house.

Great gift item
Picked up a few as stocking stuffers and they were the surprise hit of Christmas. Simple, well finished, and genuinely useful daily. The price makes it an easy yes.

Charming and practical
My mother grew up with Opinel knives in Savoie and teared up a bit when I gave her this. She says it spreads like the ones from her childhood — high praise. The steel still looks new after months of jam duty.

Handle cracked
The blade is fine, but the wooden handle developed a crack near the ferrule within two months of normal kitchen use. Perhaps the dry winter air didn't help. Contact Cutter's Bench before buying if you have very dry indoor air, I'd say.
