Pro Tip & Perpétue Steel Maintenance: The Perpétue Single Table Knife represents Opinel's highest tier of low-maintenance durability. Thanks to its entirely seamless all-stainless steel construction, it is 100% dishwasher compatible, making clean-up at the end of a dinner party completely effortless. To ensure it preserves its beautiful mirror-satin sheen for a lifetime, avoid washing it in the same cycle alongside rusty cast-iron skillet cookware, as free-floating iron molecules can deposit onto stainless finishes. For the absolute best results, utilise a standard non-abrasive detergent, remove the knife promptly once the drying cycle is complete, and wipe it down briefly with a soft microfibre towel before placing it into your cutlery drawer!
