Mushroom — Opinel

The Mushroom collection brings together the specialised Opinel knife dedicated to mushroom picking. Drawing on the historic know-how of the Savoy cutler, this knife combines a curved stainless steel blade with an integrated brush — the reference tool for picking and cleaning in the woods.

The Mushroom specificity

The Opinel Mushroom knife is designed specifically for pickers: its curved blade easily slips into the humus to harvest the mushroom without uprooting it, and the wild boar bristle brush fitted to the back of the handle cleans the cap on the spot. The folding knife keeps Opinel's proven mechanics — beech wood handle, Virobloc safety collar.

• n°8 stainless steel blade with a curved profile specific to mushrooms
• French beech wood handle, natural brush on the back to clean the cap

Choosing within the Mushroom collection

Why is the Opinel Mushroom collection well-known?

It is the reference knife for mushroom pickers and has become an iconic object on the market. The curved blade and integrated brush are tailored to a very specific use — cutting the stem close to the ground and brushing the cap — and the whole rests on the reliability of the Opinel folding system.

How do I use the brush on the mushroom knife?

The wild boar bristle brush is fitted to the back of the handle. It removes soil and pine needles from the cap directly on the spot, after cutting the stem with the curved blade. This limits mould growth in the basket and keeps the mushrooms in better condition until the kitchen.

What is the right gesture with the curved blade?

The blade is designed to glide around the stem and cut it cleanly without uprooting the mycelium. That is what sets the Mushroom knife apart from a standard folding knife: it preserves the underground network and encourages future pickings in the same spot.

How do I care for the Mushroom knife?

Hand wash only (the beech wood handle does not like the dishwasher), careful drying and dry storage. The brush can be rinsed with clean water and air-dried. A drop of food-safe oil on the joint keeps the folding action smooth.
