Opinel N°118 Chief Multi-purpose Parallèle
Opinel is often associated with pocket knives and picnic charm, but its kitchen knives are quietly excellent, especially for the price. The Parallèle chef’s knife has that reassuring, no-nonsense feel that makes you want to cook: a comfortable handle, a blade that’s easy to control, and a shape that works for the everyday rhythm of chopping onions, slicing herbs, and breaking down vegetables without drama. It’s not trying to be intimidatingly professional. Instead, it feels friendly and capable, which is exactly what most home cooks need. Keep it sharp and it will do the bulk of your prep with ease.
