OP001252: N08 Mushroom Folding Knife with Brush

Opinel Knives

The No.08 Mushroom knife is heralded by many mushroom foragers as THE mushroom knife to have! It features a curved blade to help cut delicate mushrooms, and a boar's hair brush on the end to help wipe away any dust or debris. Perfect for foraging mushrooms including morels, chanterelles, porcinis, oyster mushrooms, and more!

12C27 Stainless Steel

12C27 modified stainless steel is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge.

Virobloc Safety Ring

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives sizes No6 through No12. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety while in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety on the go).

Beechwood

Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. From France, their beech is hard, durable, and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small, dark dashes.

Pros: Handle Material, Overall Quality
Cons: Lock Ease of Use
Great Blade Shape!
Perfect design for harvesting/cleaning mushrooms. Opinel nailed the bristle quality, not too soft not too stiff. A nice bit of history too.Operation on my sample is VERY stiff. My wife had difficulty opening the blade. Hopefully this will change with use.
