Presents for people who forage every autumn
A mushroom knife makes a good present precisely because it is so specific: the curved 7.5 cm blade cuts stems cleanly at the base, and the brush on the butt clears soil from the cap before it goes into the basket. It suits:
- A friend who heads into the woods every autumn with a basket.
- A cook who buys wild mushrooms at the market and cleans them at home.
- A walker who has just joined a local foraging or nature group.
- Grandparents who taught the family which mushrooms are safe to pick.
As a gift, a wooden handle folding knife in teak looks the part when unwrapped, and it folds small enough for a jacket pocket.
