The short, relatively blunt blade of the oyster knife (aka shucking knife) is ideally suited to prying open even the most stubborn oyster. This Boston-style model was designed for professional chefs and oystermen to use efficiently all-day, every day, without wearing out.
The handle is textured to give you a secure grip and formed into a maneuverable bulb shape. Because proper sanitation is important when working with raw oysters, the handle’s nonporous polypropylene forms a perfect seal between blade and handle, so bacteria has no place to hide.
Store your oyster knife in a cupboard when not in use.
Use an oyster knife to shuck oysters quickly, safely, and easily. For instructions, please read our oyster opening online tutorial or download our How to Open an Oyster PDF. Take care when opening oysters to use a towel or glove for protecting the hand holding the oyster in case the blade slips.
