No.9 Oysters and Shellfish Folding Knife

Like nutcrackers to a walnut, an oyster knife is a required part of the process when shucking some shells. It only takes slicing your thumb with a butter knife once to learn the lesson forever, but Opinel has provided a way to skip the injury and go straight to preparing seafood like a professional.

The special blade helps you move through the shell's hinge with ease, and the varnished bubinga wood handle is both comfortably ergonomic and moisture-resistant. A traditionally dull blade, the special folding knife is only sharp on the tip, making your job easier, and dinner much sooner.

Joseph Opinel grew up in a family of blacksmiths and took over the workshop in the French Alps in 1890. He pioneered the Opinel pocket knife and the world’s been in love with it ever since.
