Maserin 800CN Mushroom Knife Black Polymer, Satin 420

Maserin 800CN Black Polymer, Satin 420 – a lightweight mushroom knife with a folding brush

The Maserin 800CN Black Polymer mushroom knife, Satin 420 is a lightweight field folder designed for cutting and cleaning mushrooms. The model features a curved Hawkbill blade, a black polymer handle, a retractable brush, tweezers, a measuring scale, and a carabiner.

The blade opens with both hands using the Nail Nick notch. The Slip Joint mechanism spring-locks the blade in place, and the folding brush remains secured during transport. The polymer construction is easy to clean and withstands contact with damp leaf litter and soil well.

AISI 420 – easy sharpening and moisture resistance

The blade is made of AISI 420 stainless steel. The material is easy to maintain and allows for efficient edge sharpening. After use, clean the knife, rinse it, dry it thoroughly, and remove any dirt from around the pivot and mechanism.

Hawkbill, Satin, and auxiliary scraper

The curved profile of the Hawkbill helps grip the mushroom stem and guide the blade without it slipping off. The smooth Plain Edge allows for precise cutting, while the serrated back can be used for preliminary cleaning of the stem surface.

Black Polymer and Folding Brush

The black polymer handle is moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and suitable for field use. The folding brush helps remove dirt, sand, and pine needles, while the tweezers allow for precise removal of small debris. The carabiner lets you attach the knife to a basket, backpack, or belt loop.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for AISI 420 steel?

After use, clean the blade of dirt, moisture, and plant debris. Then dry it thoroughly; before long-term storage, you can apply a thin layer of preservative.

How do I sharpen the Hawkbill blade?

For sharpening, it’s best to use a narrow ceramic rod or a conical sharpening stone that will conform to the hollow edge profile. Maintain a consistent angle along the entire length of the blade.

What are the brush and tweezers used for?

The brush removes dirt, sand, pine needles, and debris from the cap and tang. The tweezers help you precisely remove small particles from hard-to-reach areas.

How does the Slip Joint work?

The mechanism uses a spring to hold the blade in both the open and closed positions. It does not lock the blade rigidly in place, so you should avoid applying pressure to the back of the blade while working.

How do you clean the polymer handle?

The handle can be washed with water, a mild detergent, and a soft brush. After cleaning, thoroughly dry the area around the pivot, the brush, the tweezers, and the interior of the handle.
