Mushroom picking has been a popular activity in the summer and autumn for years. It is not only a walk in the woods, but also a practical activity that requires the right equipment. Many fans of mushroom picking use tools designed for this activity, namely mushroom knives. Mushroom knives are specialized tools that make it easier to pick mushrooms, minimizing the risk of damaging them, which is especially important for delicate edible species.
These blades are specially designed for practical and efficient use. Among other things, they make it possible to precisely cut the stems of mushrooms without damaging their caps. Mushroom knife can come in different variants. When choosing the right blade, it is worth paying attention to such aspects as the shape of the blade, the material of manufacture, the provision of an ergonomic handle, the integrated additional components, the folding blade, the included holster and the weight.
Mushroom picking knives are usually blades with a specific curved shape that makes it easier to precisely cut mushrooms at the base of the stems. A mushroom trestle or sickle is a very good choice for both beginners and advanced mushroom pickers. A knife with a blade of this shape significantly reduces the risk of damaging the structure of the mushroom when picking it.
A mushroom maker's knife should be made of good quality materials. Most often, stainless steel is used in such a blade, which not only ensures the durability of the blade, but also resistance to corrosion. Thanks to the use of durable and resistant materials, it is possible to keep the knife in good shape even with frequent use in humid conditions.
An essential element of a mushroom knife is an ergonomic handle, so that the user can enjoy a secure grip and full control over the blade. The handle is most often made of wood or good quality plastic, which is resistant to moisture. It is also worth paying attention to the profiling of the handle.
Some mushroom knives can be equipped with additional useful elements. In MILITARY.EU you will find knives, at the handles of which there are special brushes. The small brushes are used to clean the surface of mushrooms from dirt such as sand, dust, mud, grass or leaves.
It's also worth paying attention to folding models like the folder or mushroom pocket knife. Unlike knives with a fixed head, folding models you can easily put in your pocket without the risk of accidental injury. An additional advantage of pocketknives for mushrooms is that they are equipped with additional elements, the pocketknife can include, for example, tweezers for pulling out splinters or a can opener. However, if you use a knife with a fixed blade, a sturdy holster made of Cordura, natural leather or nylon will be useful.
Mushroom knives are usually lightweight and handy blades, but in the offer of MILITARY.EU you will find a variety of blades to suit the preferences of the mushroom picker. If you prefer equipment with a small size and weight, choose a mushroom knife, and if you need a full-length blade, we recommend standard models.
