About this deal
One of my favorite features is the drop point and the tip of the blade-great for getting in little holes of a tree, wedging out a resistant fungus, or just clipping easy shrooms all day long.
The beechwood for the handle is from ethically sourced forests, and is varnished for resistance to water. The end of the handle is fitted with natural boar bristles to make a brush. Use to brush loose soil and dirt from the surface of the mushrooms, and easily clean between the gills as well. This means it will take one hell of a beating, year after year. The stainless steel blade can get a bit dull with a lot of use and no TLC, but with proper, care these will last a lifetime. It has a curved blade for cutting delicate mushrooms and a boars hair brush on the end to remove any dust or dirt. Ideal for foraging mushrooms such as morels, chanterelles, porcinis, oyster mushrooms, and more!
For nature and food lovers.
When I started hunting mushrooms, I got overly excited about getting to explore new knives, those made, and that could be used specifically for mushroom hunting. It was like giving a new drug to an addict. The question always lingered though: what's the best knife for mushrooms? You don't need a sword This is definitely the honorable mention knife for this post. Not only are Higas small, and ultra-light, razor sharp and easy to sharpen as they're carbon steel, they flip open lightning fast after breaking in like a switch blade. Each and every element of this knife is well thought out according to Opinel philosophy: simplicity, durability, and practicality. Below you'll find the main characteristics of this mushroom knife: Due to a new law governing the supply and delivery of bladed items, such items will be shipped on Express Delivery using DPD, Royal Mail & Parcelforce Couriers who will ask to see valid ID on the doorstep before releasing your item (i.e. Driving license, Passport) Non Delivery
There is a small hole on the handle, which can be used for inserting a ring or a thread to create a loop. This comes in handy when you're carrying the knife so that you can simply hang it to your belt. Finally, a layer of transparent varnish is coated on the handle to protect it from moisture and preserve the beautiful appearance of the wood. The brush - made of boar bristles, the brush is perfect to remove off the dirt and impurities on the mushrooms so that they can go straight into the bag and then to a pan in a jiffy. Hands-down, the strongest, abuse-loving knife here, Anza's are basically indestructible. The secret is that the knives are all carved out of steel files, that is, steel that's used to cut through other steel, like stainless. It also hold an edge like a carbon steel knife (because it is).
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Pretty funny when you consider one of the most famous mushrooms hunters in the U.S. brings plastic picnic knives on planes when he goes on out of state forays. After getting made fun of at a foray by older hunters, and a couple awkward looks at gas stations with a 6 inch pewter boar handle protruding from my belt while hunting a candy bar, I learned.
