Au Nain Folding Mushroom Knife

Folding mushroom knife with wooden handle and synthetic bristle brush.  It's the perfect companion for a foraging trip or for using in the kitchen to clean your shrooms.  This knife folds open and and securely locks in place.  To disengage the locking mechanism, pull the ring keychain and fold the blade backdown - being sure to keep your fingers out of the way!

Au Nain is a 4th generation family cutlery business that was founded in 1885 by Gaston Saint-Joanis in Saint-Rémy-sur-Durolle, near Thiers. The name 'Au Nain' (meaning The Dwarf) was chosen as a playful response to their main competitor at that time - 'Géant du Couteau' (The Knife Giant).  Much of Au Nain's manufacturing process is still in-house (from handling to polishing and sharpening, etc.) which is becoming less and less common.  They continue to uphold traditional knife making processes characteristic to Thiers.
