My Mushroom Knife Collection as of Groundhog's Day, 2024

[@MakesMeNoDifference-sd9qg]

Cool. As a novice knife collector and a non-mushroom hunter/eater, I had no idea that these knives existed. Thanks for sharing!

[@JoseGonzalez-yx6vm]

A very interesting collection, a lot of ways to do a mushroom knife, thanks for sharing, Tobias.

The universe of specialty knives never ceases to amaze me.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

I have been enthralled by this pattern since I first saw it. I can thank Brian Wilhoite for convincing Rough Rider to make one.

Never had a mushroom knife before, interesting video

[@swamp.stomper]

Great premier! This episode is a treat

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Very cool!

Great introduction to mushroom knives. About 8-10 years ago I picked up a fixed blade Wood Jewel Mushroom knife from Ragweed Forge. Wood Jewel knives are made in Finland. SS blade with a white boar bristle brush. Birch burl handle. I use it mostly for the few morels I find in my woodlot.

I’ve been looking at the fixed blade mushroom knives. Some excellent ones out there.

Very cool collection! This video made me want to go out and hunt morels, but we gotta wait a couple more months for that here. Cheers, buddy!

Born and raised in Southern Chester County , PA. I have seen commercial mushroom pickers with the toughened and scarred thumb from picking many, many baskets on mushrooms.

I think we just witnessed the finest collection of Mushroom Knives in the nation. I'm certain there is at least one ol' geezer in Europe with a bigger one, but maybe not. lol Thanks Tobias this was truly enjoyable.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

I’m a sucker for unusual slip joints. To me they make a fun collection.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

They usually advise against rinsing mushrooms when out in the field because there is no easy way to dry them thoroughly.

[@bdh3949]

A couple of years after we had a sizable forest fire hereabouts we had an explosion of none other than those tasty mountain morels. I've never had anything sweeter (not sugary), fresher, more earthy than those morels. Ya gotta eat em quickly or they will turn and never let them get wet until ready to consume.

Curious knives.

[@gizmocarr3093]

I suspect Mushroom knives, are also used to harvesting Truffles. Hunting them with female pigs is traditional way they find truffles. However, Dogs are replacing pigs because pigs eat too many of the Truffles apparently. Truffles grow low or slightly under ground and and not easily found just by looking on the surface. The brush feature on the knife is more likely for cleaning the soil and debris from Truffles. Using it to brush dirt from around the truffles so not to bruise or damage them during harvesting.🤔

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

I can picture that.

I have a Old Bear and a couple of Opinels , but their not mushroom knives. I thinking about getting a Opinel mushroom. I use a old unstamped Frost wood hawkbill now. It's pretty well made. I'm not sure if you mentioned it or not , but I always thought the brush was used for brushing out mushroom spores for just spreading them and not necessarily for cleaning. I clean my mushrooms with water.

Tobias, I visited a mushroom farm once. They used little hawk bill fixed blade knives that had plastic handles, because very thing went through a stabilizer at the end of the day. No brushes they ran the mushrooms thru a lite wash and hot air drier. But never seen a mushroom knife with a turn in brush. Nite video.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Many folks use a fixed hawkbill and vegetable brush when gathering in the wild.

[@EdAtoZ]

I the wild I can see that. @@KnifeChatswithTobias
