Best Made Mushroom Knife

STORY

For the veteran forager or the curious novice in pursuit of wild mushrooms, this handy little knife is a must (although we recommend the latter study up first). The curved stainless steel folding blade is sharp and durable, designed to slice through stems with ease. On the other end of the rosewood handle, a pig-bristle brush helps to gently clean the earth from mushrooms as you go — mushroom tissues are so delicate that washing them causes the water to absorb into rather than clean the surface, making a dry approach much more effective. A fifth-generation family company, Herbertz of Solingen has been making simple, high-quality sporting knives since 1868.
