Just got my new mushrooming knife in the mail, fuckers!

Best knife EVER. Won an award for 100 best product designs.

Opinel. 'nuff said.

My first pocket knife EVER was an Opinel I bought in Belgium when I was eight. Very good choice - I still have mine over 2 decades later. Make sure you dry it and clean it every time you use it and it'll treat you well for a very long time. It keeps an edge as well as any other knife I've ever owned. The high carbon density means preventative maintenance is key to its longevity.

I currently use a SOG multi-tool w/ assisted opening blades for damn near everything, including mushroom hunting. http://www.sogknives.com/powerassist-eod-multi-tool.html



I appreciate having both a full serrated and full straight-edge blade that open in an eye blink, and SOG's blades are manufactured to the best standards in the business. they can split a .22 caliber bullet fired at them head-on, and they keep their edge, but are predominantly stainless or composite, so you can treat 'em really bad and they'll still treat you good. All the extra tools can be switched out for anything they carry with a simple hex-key, including scissors. The pliers double the strength of traditional pliers through a gearing mechanism, so you can chop through nickels like paper with the wire-cutters and ticks don't stand a chance when you want to pull 'em out of your skin after a long day hunting. The $120 price-tag is worth every penny, but you can pick it up on Amazon for about half that

That Opinel is class! :thumbup:

Still only carry my bargain Swiss-type pocket knife (the wine opener being used
as frequently as the blade) and a soft children's toothbrush for wiping my finds.

I wanna get one now. Are all Opinel knives specifically for mushroom hunting?

Nah, they have kitchen ones too. Opinel knifes are great for whittling wood.

You use a K-bar for mushroom hunting? Seems a bit unwieldy and kinda overkill to me unless you're a smurf.

They're pretty inexpensive I believe, and they're good for any task that requires a straight blade... well, other than fighting. That's when you need a K-Bar

I'm working on a set of custom mushroom knives. They're be basically aikuchi tanto with brushes, and with my own style to them in a modified shobu-zukuri.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

This is the knife I use.  It's an old Finnish knife that I found in my grandfather's attic. Sentimental for sure, and sharp as a razor.

I'd love to see 'em when they're done. I carry a soft, flexible neck toothbrush with the bristles cut down to ~1/2 - ~3/4 of their length, tapered from short on the outside to longer in the middle for that aspect.

Hell yeah! Now that you mention it, when I bring that knife along, I always find what I am looking for.

I suppose  I need a Holy Tooth Brush, too. :laugh:

Not for "mass" production I guess?

I have a carpenter/biologist/chef friend who is currently developing some custom wooden
headphones for my studio work, and I'm thinking to ask him of the possibility of making
me a set of kitchen knives. Perhaps I'd better push him for a mushroom one as well. :biggrin:

DCart: Your knife looks very similar to the Sápmi-knife I had as a kid - it had a longer, machéte
like blade however. Clearly a versatile tool.

Really, it sounded like canid goes hunting mushrooms with a fricking samurai sword.

Yeah, and I go out to hunt mushrooms with my wolverine claw!!
