Mushroom knife N°08 08 cm, beech wood, Opinel

Product detailed description

Freshly picked mushrooms have one big plus - taste. And one minor minus - they often bring more of the forest with them than you would like. The Mushroom knife N°08 is here to ensure the journey from basket to recipe starts a little cleaner.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°08 mushroom knife is a specialized folding knife designed for gathering, cleaning and subsequent preparation of freshly picked mushrooms.
• The 8 cm curved blade makes it easy to precisely cut the bottom of the stem directly during foraging in the field.
• The blade profile provides good control when working with both smaller and larger mushrooms and allows for gentle cutting.
• The serrated spine of the blade serves as a scraper for gentle removal of soil and other dirt adhering to the mushrooms.
• The integrated boar bristle brush allows gathered mushrooms to be gently dusted off without unnecessary washing with water.
• The combination of curved blade, scraper and brush allows mushrooms to be cleaned in the forest before putting them in the basket.
• The knife is well suited, for example, for gathering porcini, chanterelles, morels and other commonly collected edible mushrooms.
• The European-sourced martensitic stainless steel reaches a hardness of 55-57 HRC and offers high resistance to corrosion.
• The good mechanical resistance of the steel used supports reliable use of the knife during regular trips into nature.
• The beech wood handle is hard, durable and comfortable in the hand when working in the field.
• The PEFC-certified beech comes from sustainably managed sources in the Jura and Vercors regions of France.
• The lacquered surface of the handle helps protect the beech wood from moisture and dirt during normal use of the knife.
• The 10.9 cm long handle provides plenty of space for a secure grip while maintaining the compact dimensions of the knife.
• The Virobloc safety ring allows the blade to be locked in the open position during work and closed for safe carrying.
• The knife is made in France and, thanks to its specialized design, represents practical equipment for regular mushroom foraging trips.
