For years, our community has asked for it. A knife designed specifically for mushroom foraging, crafted with the same care, durability, and Finnish craftsmanship Roselli is known for. Now, we’re proud to introduce our first-ever mushroom knife. A tool built for precision, practicality, and the wild.
Discover Roselli’s first mushroom knife
A knife designed for mushroom foraging
When you're out in the forest, every detail matters. The blade, the grip, and even the way you clean your finds, all affect your experience. Our handmade mushroom knife is designed to make mushroom picking easy and precise. The premium carbon steel blade is sharp and durable, effortlessly slicing through mushrooms of all types.
But a great blade is nothing without a great handle. We’ve chosen stained curly birch, not only for its beautiful grain, but for its ability to provide a secure grip, even when wet. No slipping. No fuss. Just pure functionality that works in any condition.
Built with purpose, clean your finds in the forest
At the end of the handle, you’ll find a small but essential detail: a brush made from arenga fiber. This natural material, derived from the Arenga Pinnata sugar palm tree, is perfect for gently brushing off dirt and debris from your freshly picked mushrooms, right there in the forest. No need for extra tools. Everything you need is in your hand.
Handmade leather sheath, two options
As with every Roselli knife, the mushroom knife comes with a handmade leather sheath crafted from vegetable-tanned Finnish leather. You can choose between two models:
- A sheath with a moose leather cord for easy carrying around your neck.
- A minimalist sheath without a cord for those who prefer a simpler design.
Both options are made with natural materials and built to last, just like the knife itself.
Tips for mushroom foraging, know what to pick
Foraging is not just about having the right knife, it's about knowing what to pick. Here are some common mushrooms to look for, and a few to avoid:
Edible favorites:
- Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius): Golden-yellow, trumpet-shaped, and delicious in butter.
- Porcini (Boletus edulis): A forest treasure with a thick stem and nutty flavor.
- Hedgehog Mushroom (Hydnum repandum): Recognizable by its “teeth” under the cap, mild and versatile.
Caution, avoid these:
- False Chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca): Looks like a chanterelle but is darker orange and less fragrant.
- Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria): The iconic red mushroom with white spots, beautiful but toxic.
- Death Cap (Amanita phalloides): Extremely poisonous, greenish cap, never to be touched.
When in doubt, leave it out. Always double-check with a trusted guidebook or local expert.
