A knife for mushroom pickers equipped with a sickle-shaped blade with Hawkbill profile and a boar bristle brush for cleaning mushrooms from soil or needles.

The blade is made of martensitic stainless steel and hardened to 55-57 HRC. The blade is brought out with a flat-full grind close to zero-grind, which, combined with the blade's low thickness, provides above-average cutting properties.

Opening the knife is possible thanks to a thumb notch on the blade. In the open position, the blade is locked with the Viroblock, patented in 1955. It is a steel ring on the handle located at the height of the blade's axis of rotation. After opening the knife, we rotate it a few degrees, so that it covers the blade slot in the handle, so that the blade cannot move. In an analogous way, we secure the knife from accidental opening after folding.

The handle is made of oak wood. It is ergonomically contoured and guarantees a firm 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 in the color of our choice.

The set comes with a knife case made of synthetic leather, fastened with a snap. A belt drawer of up to 55 mm in width has been installed on the back, as well as two additional orange-colored loops for horizontal carrying.
