Mushroom Knife Maintenance:** The N°08 Foraging Knife is built to face damp forest floors, but traditional care is vital to preserve its specialized components. Because wild mushrooms contain high moisture and ambient soil holds dampness, always use a dry cloth to wipe the Sandvik steel blade and the beechwood handle completely clean after an excursion. Never submerge this knife in water or place it in a dishwasher, as water will swell the timber handle and temporarily stiffen the folding mechanism. If the blade pivot becomes stiff, simply add a single drop of food-safe mineral oil to the hinge and rotate the blade to restore its fluid action. To keep the boar bristles straight and clean, wash them lightly under warm water if caked with dirt, then gently pat dry and shape them before storing the knife back inside its protective sheath!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48554687365220,"sku":"YO001327","price":125.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6487\/0244\/files\/N_08Mushroom_sheath.png?v=1781193068","url":"https:\/\/www.greenhousepolytunnels.com.au\/products\/opinel-n-08-foraging-mushroom-folding-knife-gift-set-premium-8cm-french-sandvik-stainless-pruning-knife-with-boar-bristle-brush-sheath-wooden-presentation-box","provider":"Greenhouse \u0026 Polytunnels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
