Opinel No.8 Mushroom Folding Knife

A professional Opinel knife designed for mushroom pickers, perfect for collecting and cleaning mushrooms. The contoured sickle-shaped blade allows for precise cutting, and the brush at the end of the handle makes it easy to remove soil and conifer needles. A practical tool for every forest lover.

High cutting efficiency

The knife blade is made of stainless steel and polished to a stylish, semi-matte finish. The use of a full flat grind, similar to a zero-grind finish, combined with the blade's slim thickness, translates into high cutting efficiency. This solution facilitates the precise separation of mushrooms from the ground without the risk of damaging them.

Simple and reliable Virobloc locking mechanism

In the open position, the blade is secured by a Virobloc lock patented in 1955. This mechanism is based on a steel ring mounted on the handle, right next to the blade's pivot point. When the knife is unfolded, the ring must be rotated a few degrees so that it covers the slot in the handle, preventing the blade from moving. The blade can be locked in the closed position in the same way, preventing accidental opening. The knife is easy to unfold thanks to a special notch on the blade, similar to that found on Victorinox models.

Contoured handle made of oak wood

The handle is made of durable oak wood and has been ergonomically shaped, which translates into a secure and pleasant grip. Its significant advantage is the ease of customization - a hole for a safety cord can be easily drilled in the back. The wood is also suitable for further modification, such as texturing, carving, or staining in any color.

MILITARY is a premium dealer of Opinel.


Opinel is a French brand with a rich history dating back to 1890, originating in the Savoy region. Its creator, Joseph Opinel, designed the first pocket knife, which quickly became a symbol of everyday use thanks to its simplicity and functionality. In 1955, the company developed the Virobloc locking mechanism, later modernized, which remains a distinctive feature of its products to this day. In 1985, the brand was recognized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, which included one of Opinel's models in its list of the 100 best-designed objects in the world. The company's products also found their way into the MoMA collection in New York. Production is carried out in Chambery with care for the environment – the wood is sourced from French forests and the resulting waste is used to heat the production facilities. The range includes folding tools, kitchen utensils, cutlery, and whetstones, which have become synonymous with durability, simplicity, and the French lifestyle.

    I bought this knife and I'm very satisfied with it—here's what convinced me the most: The slightly curved blade is perfect for precise mushroom cutting, allowing you to pick them close to the ground without damaging them. At the end of the handle, there's a small wild boar hair brush that lets you clean mushrooms in the field—a very practical on-the-spot solution. The Virobloc blade lock gives me a sense of security both when I'm using it and when I'm carrying the knife—a secure blade lock is a big plus. The beech wood handle combines a traditional look with a good grip—plus, the aesthetics, which aren't insignificant for outdoor gear. Everything is lightweight, handy, and works very well “in the forest”—I've had several chances to use it when picking mushrooms and it did its job perfectly.

    Opinel No. 8 Mushroom is an excellent option for mushroom picking enthusiasts. Its very sharp stainless steel blade allows easy and precise cutting of mushrooms right at ground level without damaging them. The practical natural bristle brush works perfectly – quickly removes debris or sand right in the forest.

    The knife looks great. The blade is very sharp. The locking system is a bit stiff at first, but it will likely loosen up. With engraving, it looks excellent. I recommend it.

I recommend it!
