The Tradition of Mushroom Foraging
Foraging for mushrooms is a popular hobby enjoyed by millions, especially during the peak seasons from May to October. Historically, mushrooms were a vital part of the diet, and a specialized knife helped to clean the harvest directly in the woods. It is part of forager's etiquette to leave the forest clean and protect the fungi, and this knife serves that purpose perfectly. Interestingly, in some regions, seven out of ten people visit the forest annually for this purpose.
Maintenance and Safety
To ensure your knife serves you for many seasons, follow these simple guidelines:
- Clean the blade of any dirt and moisture after each use and wipe it dry.
- Keep the wooden handle dry and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures.
- Never put the knife in a dishwasher – the heat and detergents will permanently damage the wooden handle and the bristles.
- The blade is very sharp; exercise caution when folding the knife to avoid injury.
- Only collect mushrooms you can safely identify to avoid the risk of poisoning.
We recommend pairing this knife with a traditional wicker basket to ensure your mushrooms stay fresh and do not spoil as they would in a plastic bag.
