  • The Morel is our second knife collaboration with R.S. Knifeworks. Rob is an avid knife designer with a passion for nature and foraging. Inspired by the valuable knowledge shared on 'Learn Your Land' hosted by Adam Haritan, Rob decided to create a unique knife named 'Morel' as a tribute to his admiration for the channel. In a gesture of appreciation, Rob presented the Morel prototype #001 to Adam. The Morel is a design connecting the knife world with the world of wilderness exploration.

    Functional Design

    With its well-though-out combination of materials and thoughtful design, the Morel has firmly established itself as one of the most functional and distinctive folding knives in the world of gardening and horticulture.

    Versatile Blade Shape

    Designed with mushroom hunting enthusiasts in mind, the Morel boasts an uncommon and highly practical blade shape. The blade's lower pivot point, compound grind, and generous height and width all come together to make the Morel an outstanding EDC companion for anyone who values versatility and performance.

    Well-thought-out Materials

    What truly sets the Morel apart is the exquisite attention to detail in its construction. The blade, made from N690 steel, ensures durability and sharpness, while the aerospace-grade 6065 aluminum handle, coated with a ceramic powder finish, provides a smooth yet soft tactile experience. The handle's subtle arch and ergonomic design offer exceptional comfort and a secure grip, making the Morel ideal for extended use during your foraging adventures.

    Inclusivity in Every Detail

    Rob's dedication to inclusivity shines through in the Morel's features. The knife features a crossbar lock mechanism, a convenient thumbhole opening option, and dual pocket carry positions, catering to both left and right-handed individuals. In fact, the Morel is exceptionally South Paw-friendly, ensuring that all foragers can appreciate its utility and craftsmanship.

    Fantastic knife

    Love my Morel even though crossbars aren’t my favorite. Love the blade shape!

    Great knife

    Love the knife blade shape is excellent. Grind and sharpness is mid. Love the handle design unfortunately mine is quite sharp and digs into my palm while operating the lock which is excellent. The handle milling makes it difficult to slip in and out of my pocket.

    Scale Coating not durable

    I've only carried the knife probably 3 times and love the design, especially the knife shape and deployment. The coating on the aluminum handles is now durable however as it is already starting to rub off. A different handle material would be better such as micarta or G10.

    Overall, great design with a few flaws

    Only gripes are the weak detent and honestly the blade sharpness out of the box. Some people complained that the handle was sharp in spots, but I didn't have any issues. Dial in the detent and a better factory sharpening and you have an awesome knife.
