Trudeau Oyster Knife Set

I was reordering one of these because we lost the one I had and decided to write a review.

I shuck a lot of oysters. My sister has the expensive Wusthof shucker that I've sometimes used, and I much prefer this one. The blade on this one is a little more blunt than the Wusthof, yet the longer blade of the Trudeau seems to be more efficient in penetrating the shell (and probably less dangerous more on that in a second). What's more, the plastic sheath of the Trudeau is much easier on your hands than the metal sheath of the Wusthof. I can usually get away without using gloves with the Trudeau using a steel sink as my "backstop", but with the Wusthof, gloves are damn near a necessity for both hands. Oysters require a fair amount of force to open, and opening multiple oysters with the Wusthof without gloves gives me a bloody ring around my index finger and thumb from all the pressure against the edges of its metal sheath. Also, its sharp blade has my fearing about a slip on the other hand. I've never had an accident with it, but I'm sure it would just be a matter of time. I'm faster with the Trudeau, the plastic sheath is hand friendly, I never have to worry about stitches from its blunt blade, and I usually never need to wear a glove only occasionally on the receiving hand only to prevent minor scrapes from gripping the oysters. I own a lot of great Wusthof knives, but do yourself and your wallet a favor and go with the Trudeau here.

I needed an oyster knife. After searching amazon for different knives I thought I would be smart and purchase not only the knife but also this plastic shell. The knife is solid and works well. However, the plastic shell is harder to use than a hand towel. When placed inside the plastic shell, the oyster stays in place but when you need to move the knife to a portion of the oyster covered by the plastic shell, you need to open the shell and rotate the oyster. It seems that a hand towel would serve the same purpose and probably not cost a penny (since most people own a towel). Just my two cents.

I was opening oysters with a screwdriver until i got this knife. Since then i've opened over a hundred with little effort using it! I haven't really used the plastic holder yet, just a glove, but the knife is of excellent quality and can really take a beating! This was a great choice!

The knife is great with a good grip. It appears be well made. The holder, however, was cumbersome and almost impossible to manage.
