Recomendations

A bit later after my arrival to Chambery I had the opportunity of visiting the factory museum of Opinel knives, that day I heard that all French had one with them, and then I learned that the name of French people supposed to have been reduced to the inhabitants of Savoy.


But apart from that I believe that the Opinel knives are at the same time elegant, simples, and practices. The day of my visit, after watching the wide which showed how they were made I wanted to buy me one. Arriving to the store I said “My God!!” by seeing the different models and sizes that Opinel had, there were the smaller knives “for children” till the biggest for being able to cut a chicken, without forgetting the Opinel with a lot of colors; every knife had a number and they could cost till 350 Euros.

As I had a lot where to choose and little money I didn’t buy anything…  In Savoy you can see them everywhere, in the small stores, restaurants and even girls have one. So some months after I bought me mine in a small store in front of the elephants’ square, my first Opinel which was like a certificate of having visiting Savoy and having accepted that part of the French culture, even when I had to leave France I was happy and I could boast as most of inhabitants of Savoy which look like total fool with their already old and ugly knives.



Mon premier Opinel

Peu après mon arrivée à Chambéry j’ai eu l’opportunité de visiter l’usine musée des couteaux Opinel, ce jour là j’avais entendu dire que tous les français en avaient un, ensuite j’ai appris que le nombre de français se réduisait à juste les savoyards.


Mais en dehors de ça je crois que les couteaux Opinel sont à la fois élégants, simples et pratiques. Le jour de la visite, suite au vidéo qui montrait la manière comment ils étaient fabriqués, j’ai eu envie de m’acheter un. En arrivant au magasin je me suis dit « a la vache !! »  en regardant les différents modelés et tailles d’Opinel, il y avait les plus petits « pour les enfants » jusqu’aux plus grands pour couper le poulet, sans oublier les opinel multi couleurs ; chaque couteau a un numéro et ils peuvent valoir jusqu’à 350 Euros.


Comme j’avais trop de choix et pas beaucoup d’argent j’ai fini pour ne rien acheter… en Savoie on les voit partout, aux tabacs, aux restaurants, même les filles en ont un.  Alors quelques mois après j’ai fini pour m’acheter un dans un tabac en face de la place des éléphants, mon premier Opinel avec lequel je certifiais le fait d’avoir vécu en Savoie et d’avoir accepté un morceau de la culture française dans mon cœur, même si je devais quitter la France maintenant j’étais fier et je pouvais me la péter comme la plupart de savoyards lorsqu’ils font les malins avec leurs couteaux déjà vieux et moches.



Mi primer Opinel

Poco después de mi llegada a Chambéry tuve la oportunidad de visitar la fabrica museo de cuchillos Opinel,  aquel día yo escuché decir que todos los franceses tenían uno, después supe que el número de franceses se reducía solamente a los habitantes de Savoie.


Pero muy aparte de ello creo que los cuchillos Opinel son al mismo tiempo elegantes, simples y prácticos. El día de la visita, después del video que mostraba la forma como los cuchillos eran fabricados, tuve ganas de comprarme uno. Llegando a la tienda me dije “A su madre!!! »  Al ver los diferentes modelos y tallas de cuchillos Opinel, habían desde los más pequeños « para los niños » hasta los más grandes para cortar el pollo, sin olvidar el Opinel con colores;  cada cuchillo tiene un numero y pueden llegar a valer hasta 350 Euros.


Como tenía bastante de donde elegir y poco dinero terminé por no comprar nada… En Savoie se les ve por todos lados, en las bodegas, los restaurantes e incluso las chicas tiene su propio cuchillo. Así que algunos meses después terminé por comprarme uno en una bodega en frente de la plaza de los elefantes, mi primer Opinel con el cual yo certificaba el hecho de haber vivido en Savoie y de haber aceptado un pedazo de la cultura francesa en mi corazón, incluso si yo debía dejar Francia ahora yo estaba orgulloso y podía jalarme pana como la mayor parte de habitantes de Savoie quienes se hacen los pretenciosos con cuchillos ya viejos y feos.
