A folding mushroom knife with a curved blade in stainless Sandvik 12C27 steel and a wild boar bristle brush on the handle, made for picking, cutting and cleaning in one tool.

The curve of the blade cuts the stem without damaging the mycelium. The back of the blade is serrated for rough cleaning, and the blade locks open with the Viroblock collar lock.

When does the mushroom knife OPNX8 make the most sense?

When picking mushrooms where the stem must be cut cleanly and the mushroom cleaned in the field. The curved blade spares the mycelium, the reproductive part of the fungus, and the brush removes dirt without a separate tool.

At 13.2 cm folded with an 8.5 cm blade, the knife is compact to carry yet has enough reach for ordinary mushroom stems.

How the mushroom knife OPNX8 is used when picking

The working sequence follows the three functions of the knife:

• Cut the stem with the curved blade so the mycelium is left undisturbed.
• Rough-clean the mushroom with the serrated back of the blade.
• Brush off soil and debris with the wild boar bristle brush on the handle.

The blade locks open with the Viroblock collar lock while cutting and folds shut afterwards.
