Opinel Intempora Paring Knife

Opinel Intempora Paring Knife

3-inch full-tang paring knife in 12C27 Swedish stainless steel with a durable polymer handle

The Opinel Intempora Paring Knife puts a slim 3-inch stainless steel blade into a compact full-tang knife for peeling fruit, trimming vegetables, slicing garlic, and other close, controlled prep work. Its short pointed blade gives you more precision than a chef's knife for small ingredients, while the polymer handle is built for regular kitchen use.

Why Order from Design & Grace

Authorized Opinel retailer: Design & Grace sells genuine Opinel knives backed by the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.

Built for precise prep: The short blade and full-tang construction give you direct control for peeling, trimming, and detailed cutting.

Ships from Texas: Your knife is carefully packed and shipped from our Texas facility.

Control for Small Ingredients

The 3-inch blade is short enough for work that happens in the hand or at the edge of the cutting board. Use it to peel and trim fruit, clean mushrooms, mince small herbs, remove blemishes, and make precise cuts where a larger knife feels cumbersome.

At 7 inches overall, the Intempora Paring Knife stays compact while giving the hand enough handle to control the blade comfortably.

Signature Features

3-inch blade: Provides close control for peeling, trimming, slicing, and detailed vegetable and fruit prep.

12C27 Swedish stainless steel: Holds a sharp edge while remaining straightforward to maintain and resistant to corrosion.

Full-tang construction: Steel runs through the full length of the polymer handle for a solid, balanced feel.

Slim pointed profile: Reaches into small ingredients and makes controlled cuts that are awkward with a larger chef's knife.

Polymer handle: Provides a durable, low-maintenance grip for everyday kitchen use.

Seven-inch overall length: Keeps the knife compact and easy to maneuver for close prep work.

The Small Knife for Precision Work

The Intempora Paring Knife is the knife to reach for when blade length would otherwise get in the way. Its short edge gives you control over peeling, trimming, coring, and cutting small fruits and vegetables, while the full tang gives the compact knife more substance in the hand than a lightweight utility blade.

From Our Founder

"A paring knife should disappear into the work. Three inches is enough blade for peeling, trimming, and small cuts, and the full tang gives this one a more settled feel than you expect from such a compact knife."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
