Deglon Oyster Knife

This is a good solid knife for opening oysters, but you should know that it's intended for opening oysters in the French style, from the side (instead of at the hinge). If you're looking to open oysters in what I'll venture to call the "normal" way you need a smaller tip like this other knife has Sani-Safe Commercial Cutlery, Oyster Knife, 4''

Owned and lightly used the knife for 2.5 years, the blade broke. Used it about 3 times a year, so not great. Our previous knife was about 40 years old when the blade chipped (the Deglon snapped 1/4" from handle).

I had great success with this shucker with all oysters except gulf monsters, for which this little guy does not produce enough heft/leverage. Handle design is brilliant, and blade behaves much like a boston style design. For the big guys and troublesome oyster clusters that no knife can conquer, I recommend a King Kooker oyster opener machine (with simple do it yourself mods detailed in Amazon reviews), which will dispose of any oyster cluster or giant bivalve you throw at it.

I open a lot of oysters and believe certain shells are best open with certain knifes, ie Dexter knifes only open 80%. Brought this based upon the feel of the handle which is great. Shape of blade is terrible.
