Elegant Opinel folding mushroom knife with curved blade, serrated edge and Virobloc lock.

We tested this Opinel “Mushroom Knife” as a dedicated mushroom foraging tool. It features a curved stainless steel blade of 70 mm, a serrated back edge, Virobloc locking ring, and a glossy lacquered beech wood handle. Comes with a wild-boar-hair brush to clean mushrooms.

It excels at clean slicing and gentle cleaning of mushrooms in damp forest conditions. It is not made for chopping wood or heavy prying.

From my decades of foraging this kind of blade design saves you from damaging delicate caps and helps avoid clogging your knife when brushing soil off.

Description
Additional information

I have carried many mushroom knives through moist undergrowth and this Opinel Mushroom Knife surprises with its balance of precision and simplicity. The 70 mm curved blade allows me to slice cleanly under mushrooms without crushing them. The serrated back edge helps me saw through soil roots when needed. The Virobloc locking ring adds safety both when I carry it folded and when cutting.

Handle of glossy lacquered beech wood warms to my hand on chilly mornings. The included brush of wild boar hair is gentle yet effective to knock off dirt without damaging spores. At 190 mm overall and only 48 g, this is feather-light in pack, and it feels nimble as soon as I open it.

To keep it sharp and ready I dry it thoroughly after each use, oil the hinge, and use a fine stone to touch up the blade; stainless steel resists rust but still benefits from care. Picture yourself down on mossy ground, harvesting amanitas or chanterelles, using this blade with confidence. If you forage often, this tool is one you’ll reach for now and again.
