After several months of using the Opinel Bread Knife (#116) I can honestly report that I’m very happy with the elegant simplicity of this knife and it’s performance... it effortlessly allows me to make, thin, accurate slices from my crusty sourdough loaves.
Purchasing the above knife from ‘Paul’s Finest’ was a very pleasurable experience. Before placing the order I contacted the company to verify the blade composition. I received a prompt response from Paul (how often these days does one get a response from the owner of the company) who knowledgeable answered my questions. I then place the order and the knife was shipped and received within three days. In addition, the item was packaged without plastic... Fantastic!
