Ophelia Piccolo

Ophelia Piccolo – A classic office knife with an alien look

The Ophelia Piccolo model from PAPA KNIVES combines a classic, proven knife shape with an exceptional handle design. This handcrafted, unique piece combines timeless ergonomics with a look that visually evokes the pristine surface of a distant planet.

The ergonomic handle, with its traditional lines, is made of turquoise resin, polished to a high gloss and super smooth. The fascinating, flowing grain within the material creates tremendous visual depth – as if gazing upon an otherworldly landscape. Thanks to its flawless, smooth finish, the classically shaped handle fits perfectly in the hand.

The blade provides the technical counterpoint: it is made of Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel and hardened to 60 HRC using a cryogenic process (deep-freezing treatment). This precise heat treatment ensures extremely long edge retention combined with excellent toughness and rust resistance. An uncompromising all-rounder in the kitchen for those seeking something special.
