Precision Engineering for Clean Wild Harvests

Every wild mushroom hunter knows that your field knife is your most important piece of gear. This premium curved mushroom knife features an 8.5 centimeter double beveled blade that is heat temper treated to hold an exceptionally sharp, long lasting edge while remaining highly resistant to environmental corrosion.

The unique hawkbill curve of the blade is specifically tailored to wrap around round mushroom stems, allowing you to slice smoothly through chanterelles, morels, or oyster mushrooms without breaking the delicate stalks. Additionally, the spine of the blade features a subtle serrated section, providing a convenient scraping surface to strip away heavy dirt or cuticles before you place your treasures into a foraging basket.

Advanced Safety and Maintenance Controls

To ensure absolute safety in the field and inside your pack, this boar bristle brush pocket knife comes fully equipped with the patented Virobloc stainless steel safety collar locking mechanism. This rotating ring system allows you to securely lock the blade completely open while harvesting, or lock it firmly closed during transit.

Maintaining your companion tool is simple. To keep your varnished wooden handle and stainless steel looking brand new for decades, simply wipe the blade and handle clean with a soft cloth after each use. Order your official Opinel foraging knife today and head out into the forest with the finest traditional tool available!

Great gift!

This made a fabulous birthday present! My husband loves Opinel knives and I wanted to buy local. I had been eyeing this knife for a while and I am so glad I was able to find this mushroom knife at Cascadia Mushrooms.
