How to Use and Clean It
Cut stems at the base with the curved blade to leave the mycelium intact, scrape dirt off with the serrated back, then sweep the cap and gills clean with the boar bristle brush — no washing needed in the field.
Specifications
Blade: curved stainless steel, No.08 size
Serrated edge on blade back for scraping
Brush: natural boar bristles
Handle: French beechwood
Lock: Virobloc collar
Care
Hand wash only — never dishwash. Air-dry the brush bristle-down, wipe the blade dry, and occasionally oil the beechwood handle to prevent drying.
Comparison
Generic mushroom knives use synthetic brushes and softer blades. The Opinel combines a curved foraging blade, real boar bristles, and French craftsmanship at a $20 deal price — half of comparable options.

Product Details
No.08 Mushroom Knife vs. Standard Folding Knives
Unlike a straight-blade pocketknife, this No.08 has a curved blade for clean stem cuts, a serrated scraper, and real boar bristles — three tools in one fold. At $20 (50% off), it costs less than most single-purpose foraging knives.
Use Cases
Mushroom hunting, forest foraging, trail walks, and garden cleanup — the brush alone makes it a year-round pocket companion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you clean an Opinel mushroom knife with a brush?
After use, brush debris off the blade and handle with the boar bristle brush, wipe the blade dry, and hand wash when needed. Never put it in the dishwasher.
How do you use the brush on the No.08 mushroom knife?
Sweep the bristles across mushroom caps, gills, and stems in the field to remove dirt and debris — no water required.
Is the boar bristle brush washable?
Yes — rinse briefly and air-dry bristle-down. Avoid soaking and dishwasher exposure to protect the natural bristles and beechwood handle.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No. Dishwashing damages the beechwood handle and brush. Hand wash and dry immediately for a long tool life.
How much does it cost and is there a deal?
Buy it online at Cutter's Bench for $20 — 50% off the $40 compare-at price. Apply coupon BENCH10 for another 10% off; free shipping over $45.

The forager's perfect companion
Took this out on a chanterelle hunt last weekend and it performed beautifully. The curved blade slips around stems without mangling the mushrooms, and the brush end cleans off dirt and debris right at the spot — no more muddy pockets. The serrated scraper dealt with a couple of gritty stem ends too. Beechwood handle feels warm and natural in hand.

Solid mushroom knife
The brush is the real star here — it brushes off dirt far better than my old pocketknife-and-tissue method. Blade is sharp and the curve is genuinely useful. Sheath not included, so find a pocket carefully.

Great gift for my husband
He's been mushroom hunting for years with a regular pocketknife and grumbles about dirty mushrooms in his bag. This solved that. He says the curved blade is perfect for clean cuts at the base of the stem. Well made and the boar bristle brush feels sturdy.

Nice tool, brush is smaller than expected
The knife itself is quality Opinel — sharp, well-finished, comfortable. I was surprised how small the brush is in person; it works but takes longer to clean a big bolete than the product photos suggest. Still a useful tool for the price.
