Opinel No. 08 Champignons Mushroom Knife – Satin Sandvik 12C27 Stainless Steel Hawksbill Blade – Varnished Beechwood Handle – Nail Nick Manual w/ Virobloc Safety Ring Lock – Made in France

Since 1890, Opinel has offered high-quality, simple, stainless steel locking pocket knives that have been a staple of the classic outdoorsman pack for well over a century. Known as a pioneer in the knife manufacturing industry, Joseph Opinel began making knives when he was 18 in France, and to this day his designs have a lasting effect in the knife world. The same design has lasted for 100+ years, as the Opinel is just about as solid as they come. Favored by outdoorsmen for their sharpen-ability, as the Opinel classics come with high-carbon content blades, as well as their resistance to corrosion, dependability and reliability are what defines an Opinel knife. The larger-sized classic Opinels come with the patented Virobloc safety ring folder, which was originally invented in 1955 and refined to perfection until they were finally made available on these models in the early 2000’s. The Virobloc system allows for a simple turn of a non-stationary, rotating ferrule, to lock the blade in an open position. Sharp, safe, and rugged, Opinel knives have been around and widely-used for over a century for a reason. Simply put: you cannot go wrong with owning and using an Opinel knife.

The Opinel Mushroom Knife is the go-to tool for the mushroom forager. Loved by many, they come with a super-sharp and easy to restore Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade. The hawkbill blade style makes it the ultimate knife for cutting delicate mushrooms without causing damage, and for getting into hard to reach places. The butt-end of the knife features a brush made of boars hair, perfect for cleaning dirt and debris off of your freshly harvested shrooms. With a gorgeous varnished Beechwood handle and Opinels signature Virobloc safety ring lock mechanism, this thing is a must-have for anyone who hunts wild mushrooms. If you like foraging mushrooms, or have always wanted to start, the Opinel Mushroom Knife is all you need to begin. Grab one today as they sell out fast!
