The Marttiini Keraaja elevates mushroom foraging with thoughtful details: the curved stainless blade ensures damage-free harvesting, the heat-treated birch handle offers a luxurious yet practical feel (more premium than plastic-handled variants), and the boar hair brush streamlines cleaning without bruising delicate finds. The handsome leather sheath keeps the tool protected and readily accessible. Durable, rust-resistant, and ready for the forest—this is a reliable companion for Finnish-style foraging.
