Description
In 1890, Joseph Opinel (1872-1960) created the first Opinel knife in the small hamlet of Gévoudaz, near Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne.
Since 1909, his small pocket knife has been stamped with the La Main Couronnée® trademark, and quickly became a national and international success.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the family business has come a long way! Today, Opinel knives are produced in Chambéry and sold in over 70 countries worldwide.
On leaving the museum, discover the boutique where you can have your knives engraved, and enjoy the relaxation area/bar with terrace!
The exhibition can be translated into English, Italian and German using QR codes.
