The Gilles® Mushroom & Garden Knife collection by Fontenille Pataud was engineered to meet the precise needs of foragers and horticulturalists. While optimized for mushroom picking, this versatile tool excels as a dedicated garden and pruning knife. Its unique design features no metal bolsters, resulting in a lightweight, nimble instrument that allows for fatigue-free use during long afternoons in the forest or garden.

The hallmark of this collection is the specialized curved blade, designed to facilitate a natural rocking motion. This ergonomic shape makes cutting through stems, branches, and delicate plant matter effortless, providing superior control and less strain than a traditional straight blade. Whether you are harvesting fruits and vegetables or carefully cleaning a find in the field, this knife offers the versatility and surgical precision required by serious foragers.

Handcrafted in Thiers, France, these knives feature a traditional slip-joint closing mechanism for classic, smooth operation. To ensure you are satisfied with the unique character of the natural handle materials, every knife in this collection is individually photographed. The specific tool you select is the exact one we will ship from our inventory. We also provide free same-day blade engraving, handled in-house at our Jacksonville warehouse, to ensure your order is personalized and shipped without delay.
