Product Insights
The Opinel Sylve Olive Wood Handle Forks Set Of 12, priced at 312 CAD, combines a century-old heritage—marked by the crowned hand stamp since 1909—with modern design from Swiss studio BIG-GAME, whose works are in MoMA and the Centre Pompidou. Each fork features a full-tang stainless steel blade and a riveted olive wood handle with unique grain, ranging from pale beige to dark walnut, offering a balanced 11.5 cm handle for daily use. The wood's Janka hardness of ~2,700 lbf and natural moisture resistance, plus a food-safe varnish, eliminate the need for monthly oiling, though the set requires gentle hand-washing without abrasives. Made in Portugal, the forks match Opinel's Bon Appétit and Facette knife lines, providing a cohesive place setting at about $26 per fork.
