Mushroom Knife Opinel No.8 Sandvik 12C27 Stainless Steel Serrated Spine Natural Beech

Mushroom Knife Opinel No.8 is a folding knife designed specifically for mushroom picking and field cleaning in forest environments. The knife features a 7 cm blade made of modified Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, an ergonomic lacquered beech wood handle, and a boar bristle brush for cleaning mushrooms directly after cutting. This practical design combines cutting precision with tools required by mushroom collectors during outdoor use. The Virobloc locking system securely fixes the blade in both open and closed positions, improving safety during use and transport. Sandvik 12C27 is a modified stainless steel with a high carbon content that provides strong edge retention and reliable cutting performance even in humid outdoor conditions.

Features

• Sandvik 12C27 steel blade: 7 cm stainless steel blade with reliable sharpness retention and consistent cutting performance.
• Virobloc locking system: secures the blade in open or closed position for improved safety during transport and use.
• Mushroom cleaning brush: natural boar bristles integrated at the end of the handle for cleaning mushroom stems and caps.
• Serrated spine: perforated back edge of the blade designed for scraping dirt from mushrooms.
• Beech wood handle: lacquered natural wood handle with an ergonomic shape for comfortable grip.
• Compact folding design: total length 200 mm with a lightweight construction of only 47 g.

This knife is designed for practical mushroom harvesting where cutting and cleaning must be done immediately in the forest. For example, when collecting mushrooms in the forests of Gauja National Park, damp soil often sticks to mushroom stems, and the boar bristle brush allows quick cleaning before placing them in a basket. The stainless Sandvik 12C27 steel maintains cutting performance in humid autumn forest conditions. The folding construction combined with the Virobloc lock allows the knife to be carried safely in a pocket or backpack.
