A good mushroom knife makes both harvesting and cleaning easier right out in the forest. In this guide to the best mushroom knives in the test, we go through some models that are often highlighted for their function and agility. All have a brush, blades shaped for mushroom picking and details that make them easy to handle in damp or cold environments.
There are many different types - some are small and easy to carry in your pocket, others a little thicker with a larger handle and longer blade. Some have extra details such as a hanging loop or wooden handle for those who like the traditional. Which model is best depends on how much you pick, what type of mushrooms you collect and how you like to work in the forest. Below you will find four variants that we appreciate - regardless of whether you pick in the mountains, on the bog, in the spruce forest or along the path in the local forest.
Here we have collected four mushroom knives that we often recommend to people who want a knife that actually works out in the forest - when it's time to cut, clean and take care of mushrooms right on site. It's a mix of folding knives and fixed blade models from Morakniv, Joker, Stabilotherm and Wood Jewel - all with a brush at the back and blades that can handle the job.
Some knives are small, flexible and easy to fold - perfect for carrying in your pocket or hanging in your bag. Others have a fixed blade and a grippy handle that gives a little more feel when you cut. Some have a stiff brush for needles and soil, others a little softer straw. Whether you're looking for something small and light or a more substantial knife for long sessions in the forest, there's something here that suits you. All get the job done - and make mushroom hunting easier.
Wood Jewel has developed a mushroom knife that both looks good and feels good in the hand. Here you get a fixed stainless steel blade (5.5cm) and a birch and reindeer antler handle, shaped like a small mushroom - a detail that is not only stylish but also provides a good grip.
The total length is 21cm including the brush, which is located at the back of the handle and works well for cleaning soil, needles and moss. The leather sheath is patterned with mushrooms and has a carrying strap that makes it easy to carry on your belt or backpack. A solid mushroom knife for those who want something that both works outdoors and feels a little extra thoughtful.

Specifications:
A mushroom knife is a specially designed knife for cutting and cleaning mushrooms directly out in the forest. Most models have:
Unlike regular pocket knives, mushroom knives are adapted for the type of precise movements required when harvesting mushrooms. This makes them both more efficient and gentler on the mushroom - and gives you cleaner results directly in the basket.
There are a few things to consider before deciding which model is best. Here are some frequently asked questions:
A knife with a fixed blade is often a little more stable and easier to keep clean. A folding knife is easier to carry and easier to store in your pocket - but requires a little more cleaning afterwards.
The brush is a must for many. It makes it easy to clean the mushroom on the spot, without having to lug around extra equipment. Choose a model with moderately stiff bristles that can handle soil and needles without damaging the mushroom.
Wood and horn feel warm and comfortable in the hand, but require a little more care. Plastic and rubber withstand moisture better and often provide better grip in the rain. Choose what suits your hiking style best.
