Opening oysters and shells requires skill and of course the right tool. A good helper here is the oyster knife (No. 9) by Opinel from France, created especially for this purpose. The blade is specially made for opening shell mollusks: it is only 6.5 cm long but 2.2 mm thick and made of stainless steel. It should be noted that to loosen the sphincter of the oyster, the blade is ground only at the top about 1.5 cm. The rest of the blade is dull and can therefore be used as a lever when opening. In addition to the practical functions, the knife also has a beautiful look, especially through the high-quality handle, which is made of Padouk wood. In order to make this particularly resistant to moisture, this was provided with a special paint. This product cannot be sold to any person under the age of 18.
