The first really good oyster knife I've ever used in 55 years!

Grab hold of the oyster with a gloved hand or towel with the hinge pointed toward you and the cup facing down. With the concave curve of the blade facing up, work the point forcibly into the hinge, working side to side. When the point has a good bite, lever down like a shovel prying a rock, and the hinge just pops! Slide the knife blade into the upper shell and sweep side to side, cutting the adductor muscle and discard the top shell. Similarly, sweep the underside of the oyster with the curved blade and free it from the cup. With this knife, a person of decent hand strength can easily shuck a stubborn oyster in less than a minute, and most in less than half. I highly recommend cut resistant gloves on a towel padded surface for the easiest handling of oysters.

It made quick work of a dozen pacific oysters.

I am by no means a professional oyster shucker, but one YouTube video and this oyster knife later, and I had a dozen shucked oysters. They were pacific, and this knife was thin enough to get in the crack of the shell. If I had smaller oysters with weaker hinges, I’m sure they would have been great for them too. I’m probably not going to win any shucking competitions, but it did the job despite my small hands.

Excellent oyster knife

I have a number of oyster knives, and this one is surely the best of the lot. After a few oysters, the handle gets slippery, though. Your wet hand on the smooth wet rubber makes for slipping. A piece of nonskid rubber wrapped around the handle helps. I wear a Kevlar glove on my left hand. I keep my oysters in the refrigerator's vegetable bins for a day. They pop open much easier that way.

Makes me look like a pro with just 10-15 seconds per oyster now

I'm a novice at oysters...maybe 3 dozens every 2 weeks for family gathering on small oysters(sashimi style). The handle/grip and pointy edge of this tool made a world of difference compared to the old blunt(rounded off edge) of my store bought oyster knife. Makes me look like a pro with just 10-15 seconds per oyster now. No more guess work.

You can't eat the shell...so get this!

To open a LOT of oysters you need a knife with good leverage. This one is just so-so. There is enough flex in the rubber-ergo handle that you need to twist your wrist a little more to get the initial opening. If you just want one to open shells for that ONE holiday dinner, this will work. If you are working at a raw bar...find a knife with a wooden handle.

Oysters at home safely

This is just a perfectly designed tool. I shucked with a screwdriver before and it was doable but it was awkward and I was always scared of stabbing myself accidentally. Using this oyster knife with a towel to grip the oyster securely you can make short work of even dainty oysters. The edge is made to dig into even small hinges and simply twisting/grinding back and forth will inevitably unlock any oyster. The angle to the blade also frees the oyster from the shell with little fuss. There is still some elbow grease involved but hey you earned it.

Shucked around 120 oysters with this oyster knife easily with guidance of online tips

Decided to buy this product for a upcoming BBQ I was holding for friends. Shucked around 120 oysters with this oyster knife easily with guidance of online tips. My favorite part of this product is how well it can penetrate the hinge of the oyster and DOESN'T bend while twisting. This was a worthwhile investment.

Great knife

I open a few hundred oysters a day and these are my favorite knives to date. I'm always looking for new ones and have owned most all available. Great oyster knife
