A professional knife for mushroom pickers equipped with a sickle-shaped blade and a brush for cleaning mushrooms from soil or needles. A unique model from the legendary Opinel brand.

 

The blade is made of stainless steel and polished to a semi-gloss finish. The blade is brought out with a flat-full near-zero-grind, which, combined with the small thickness of the blade, provides above-average cutting properties.



Opening the knife is possible thanks to a notch on the head, similar to the one in Victorinox pocket knives. In the open position, the head is locked with the Viroblock, patented in 1955. This is a steel ring on the handle located at the level of the axis of rotation of the head. After opening the knife, we rotate it a few degrees, so that it covers the blade slot in the handle, so that the head has no possibility of movement. In an analogous way, we secure the knife from accidental opening after folding.

The handle is made of beech wood. It is ergonomically contoured and provides a firm, warm grip. An additional advantage of the handle is its susceptibility to modification. The simplest would be to drill a hole on the back of the handle for a safety cable. We can also give it any texture, subject it to carving and stain it to the color of our choice.
