Buy Victorinox Oyster Knife 2-3/4-Inch Hooked Tip New Haven Style Blade, Red SuperGrip Handle Now
I work at an seafood place/oyster bar that primarily serves oysters on the half shell and this blade has proven perfect for getting in the hinge quickly and cleanly. This is almost great beginner knife, the only thing that stops it from being all around perfect is also its biggest strength: the hooked tip. The hooked tip is awesome for serving on the half shell for most oysters, but isn't quite as versatile as Boston or Galvenston style knifes for getting into the really big oysters, clams, etc. If it's your first knife or your only knife I recommend the Boston style of the same brand, but that doesn't stop me from loving this knife!And this time I didn't kill myself with this Victorinox oyster knife. I just can't describe in words how shocked I was when I shucked my first oyster using this proper tool. My buddy and I shucked 100 blue point oysters that day with minimal effort. You really need the proper tools to do the job properly but most importantly, to do the job easily.This knife makes opening oysters so much easier!! It has a finer tip than other shuckers that I've used almost all my life. I used to end up with a bunch of oysters that I had to get a hammer and bang on, that doesn't happen anymore with this opener.Victorinox Oyster Knife 2-3/4-Inch Hooked Tip New Haven Style Blade, Red SuperGrip Handle

I shuck 300 to 800 oysters a week. This knife does the trick. The New Haven tip cracks open the hinge and goes right into the muscle. Quick turn and the bottom muscle is cut. Role over the oyster and ready to serve. I do have to do a quick sharpening every other week. The handle is tought, sanitary and does not dig into the palm of your hand after shucking several hundred oysters.Overall I really like this knife. Just did a 100ct of James River Oysters (which I think are Med to Large) today for a party and found it much better than my previous knife. Someone recommended the curved tip "New Haven" style who had shucked at an oyster bar and it really worked well for these oysters. Granted, it think these are easier than others I have done in the past. Benefits of this knife include-non-slip handle, good handle size for my Med size hands, VERY solid stiff blade, curved tip that was thin enough to wiggle into the joint. Nice curve also helped cut the abductor easily. Broad enough turn the meat after cutting. Granted only one day of use so we will see how it holds up, but it still looks brand new and more importly still feels solid. Price was a bit high, but if it lasts, well worth it!
