Here is one of Nordic Edge's first Mushroom knives. Julius designed these as a mushroom forager himself to fulfill his needs and we now have them to offer to you
Specs:
Blade Length: 62mm or 2.44in
Tang Length: 72mm or 2.83in
Thickness: 1.2mm or .0078in
Steel: 440b Stainless Steel
I would suggest a 16x24x3 Fillet bolster for this thin blade
** Last picture is to compare the 3 NE mushroom blades. Only 1 Skalman 62 blade included with each purchase**

Having built many foraging knives on the 58mm Laurin stainless blade, I wanted to try this out. The slightly longer blade works well in the field. Compared with the Laurin 58, this blade is a little thinner. It will be interesting seeing how the thinner profile and the 440b stainless holds its edge. The thin blade makes for a challenge in making a tight fitting front plate (for those of us who don’t own a machine shop). One extra step required, for my builds, when using this blade is squaring the tang to the shoulders of the blade. The mfr designs this where the tang and shoulder meet at an angle. Some work with my grinder and file guide square things up. All-in-all, I still rank this one as another keeper and addition to my lineup of foragers knives.
Interesting you mention this John, We were just talking to Nordic Edge and it seems that they will soon be offering bolsters that are made perfectly for their blades and we will certainly get them in ASAP. Thank you for taking the time to review!
