Description
The Barbecue Set is a timeless companion when you're socialising and eating with friends.
It is practical and useful, and it is made up of three utensils manufactured in France using eco-friendly local materials:
- The N°12 B folding knife: this is a new size of knife with a 16 cm stainless steel blade and a sturdy wooden handle made of beech from French forests. It is fitted with a safety collar that locks the blade in the open and closed positions. It also has an opener at the end of the handle for opening bottles and hanging the knife.
- The Spatula +: the stonewashed finish stainless steel spatula fits onto the handle of the N°12 B knife and locks in place with the safety collar. Its large surface (8.5 cm x 20 cm) makes it easy to pick up food quickly. It has a narrow angle and a bevelled edge on both sides for separating or scraping.
- The XL tongs: These tongs in stonewashed finish stainless steel are 40 cm long and make handling food easy and safe. The asymmetrical heads allow you to grip large items with the notched wide angle and grasp smaller ones with the narrow angle. They also have a grid-lifting slot at the heel.
Technical specifications
Martensitic stainless steel
Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin.
The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.
The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent ...).
Blade length
16 cm
Handle
Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. From France, our beech is hard, durable and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark dashes.
Safety ring
Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
