Product Insights

The Opinel Parallèle No. 122 Meat And Poultry Knife features a rigid 2.5 mm X50CrMoV15 stainless steel blade (56-57 HRC) that prevents tip drift and twist for precise trimming, silver skin removal, and joint separation, with a symmetrical design for ambidextrous use; its stiffness reduces accidental cuts on slippery surfaces but requires hand washing and occasional oiling to protect the varnish and maintain corrosion resistance.

Parallèle No. 122 Meat And Poultry Knife: Choose this if you regularly trim and break down meat and poultry: it is described as the hero of demanding cuts, with a short, rigid, twist-resistant blade that is excellent at removing nerves, bones, and fat. The 13 cm stainless steel blade is 2.5 mm thick with high corrosion resistance for high-quality cutting, paired with a varnished beech wood handle. It comes in one size only.^[1]	Parallèle No. 120 Carving Knife: Choose this if you want a carving knife for roasts, poultry, or fruit: it has a long, narrow 16 cm high-carbon stainless steel blade with high corrosion resistance that, per product descriptions, glides cleanly through meat for neat slices. The 3 mm-thick rigid blade is described as staying stable when cutting, with a curved edge for seesaw-style chopping, a continuous edge with a freed-up heel intended to ease sharpening, and a varnished beech wood handle riveted for comfort. Note that the cutting-performance claims come from merchant and retailer copy rather than independent testing, and the knife is offered in one size.^[2,3,4,5,6]	Parallèle No. 123 Carpaccio Knife: Choose this if you want a dedicated slicing knife for very fine cuts of ham, salmon, or carpaccio-style dishes: it has a long 30 cm (about 12 inch) blade just 1.5 mm thick that the maker says cuts delicate slices with a supple back-and-forth motion. The stamped X50CrMoV15 stainless steel blade offers high corrosion resistance at 56-57 HRC hardness, paired with a lightweight (99 g) varnished beechwood handle sourced from PEFC-certified, eco-managed forests. Note that the flexible blade's fine-slicing performance is a manufacturer-stated capability rather than a reported user outcome, and a lifetime warranty is listed without stated conditions.^{[7,8,9,10,11,12]}
