Blade material | Stainless steel |
Handle material | Beech wood |
Blade length | 3 inches |

The Opinel No. 8 is a classic French foraging and harvesting knife. (All of us at North Spore carry an Opinel on our mushroom forays!) They also make a great gift for the forager or mushroom cultivator in your life.
Sharp, reliable, and lightweight, the brush on the bottom of the handle makes cleaning mushrooms in the field or log yard a breeze (saving the harvester from the annoyance of dirty mushrooms spreading dirt onto cleaner mushrooms in their bags or baskets.) It's the perfect knife for foraging and harvesting both delicate and sturdy mushrooms including morels, chanterelles, porcinis, oyster mushrooms, shiitake, and more!
- Curved stainless-steel blade allows for easy cutting
- Serrated back edge helps with scraping and cleaning
- 100% natural boar-bristle brush helps you dust off your mushrooms
- Varnished beech wood handle resists moisture
- Ferrule includes a positive locking ring to prevent accidental opening or closure

Still awaiting results
I haven't actually inoculated my logs yet. But I'm excited to get started soon. I'll check back when I see mycelium forming.

Opinel No. 8 Mushroom Knife
Not as sharp as I thought it would be after spending this much money on it. Honestly, I kinda have to saw at my mushroom stems, which is less than ideal. It would be nice if it was sharper and cut through mushrooms easier, considering that’s what it’s for…
Perfect foraging knife
Easy to use and very well made. High quality knife.
