Specifically designed for Mushroom fossicking to gently wipe off pine needles and leaves covering the underlying mushroom but this knife is just at home peeling potatoes, oranges and general finicky cutting. The Blade is extra thick at 2.5mm and is made from tough 420 Stainless Steel. Strong enough to open oysters and conveniently brush out any broken shell bits.
420 Stainless Steel has...
Excellent corrosion resistance Great for wet, salty, or outdoor environments.
Very tough & hard to chip It won’t crack or snap easily — good for rough use.
Easy to sharpen You can bring it back to working sharp quickly, even in the field.
You may see cheaper versions that look similar but they are smaller and use an inferior blade. Although the term "Stainless Steel" is used, the higher than usual carbon content in the blade dose leave it prone to rusting, so keep it dry and oiled when stored.
