The N°08 Mushroom Knife, adapted from Opinel's iconic N°08 pocket knife into a dedicated tool for the forager: precise enough to free a mushroom from the forest floor without damaging it, and practical enough to clean it on the spot.
Key features:
- Elegantly curved blade that slips beneath the stem for a clean, low-damage cut
- Toothed (serrated) spine for secure grip and control while cutting
- Integrated boar-bristle brush set into the rear of the handle, for immediate cleaning of dirt and debris after picking
Blade length:
7.2cm
Technical Specifications:
Forged from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, prized for its corrosion resistance and fine, long-lasting edge. Low-maintenance and easy to sharpen, it holds up to repeated use in damp, outdoor conditions typical of foraging.
Handle:
Beech wood, sourced from French forests, with a smooth, warm grain that ages gracefully with use.
Safety Ring:
Fitted with Opinel's Virobloc safety ring, which locks the blade open during use and locks it closed for safe carrying between finds.
Designed and manufactured in France.
