Mushroom knives
For lovers of hiking and especially precious forest fruits, the mushroom knife is the best travel companion. They allow you to harvest porcini mushrooms, nails, chanterelles or other species that you are looking for, while preserving the environment in which you evolve. A cut with the right tool, done correctly, is much better than tearing, pulling, ruining the mushroom. Or even the branches and plants nearby.
The quality of a mushroom knife is determined by various factors: sharpness, firmness, ease of handling, ergonomic handle, manufacturing materials, proportions, heat treatment, water and rust resistance, design, stability, durability, balance, weight, blade type, tip and forged construction. You must pay attention to these various criteria in your choice.
- To identify the right mushroom knife for you, you must try the handle, it must be safe and comfortable and not cause contractions or discomfort.
- You must also choose the right blade to accompany you during your picking parties. It must be sharp and practical to cut mushrooms in a single stroke.
- The size of your mushroom knife is also essential. It must be small enough to be practical to use, but with a blade not too short to help you reach the roots of the mushrooms.
- For safety reasons, your mushroom knife should also be easy to carry and use. To avoid accidents, it must be protected with a case, or foldable.
