Mushroom knife, willow, birch & tampico

Mushroom knife, willow, birch & tampico
£21.50
Ex Tax: £17.92

A mushroom picker of unstripped Finnish willow mounted with a lightly sharpened birch blade, hard enough to cut the delicate stems of most wild fungi, and with a tampico brush to clean soil and leaf compost from the freshly harvested mushrooms. Handmade by the craftspeople of a Finnish visually impaired workers cooperative, whose long tradition of hand brush manufacture throughout the northern Europe has helped preserve skills which might otherwise long since have vanished. [⠓⠎ ⠑⠍ ⠓⠁]

Care Advice

Keep dry when not in use. In the case of wet-use brushes, please shake any excess moisture from the bristles, and dry hanging up or on a surface with the bristles facing down. Clean brushes only when necessary with a little dish soap and hot water, making sure to dry thoroughly. Condition the wooden surface every now and then with a beeswax furniture polish, or mineral oil, to prevent cracks or splitting.
  • Item Dimensions 11200
  • Materials Unstripped willow wood, birchwood, and tampico fibre
