R. Murphy/Ramelson Duxbury Oyster Knife - As Seen in Bon Appetit Magazine - Shellfish Seafood Clam Shucker Tool - Made in USA

The combination of the short blade and generous handle makes it very easy to quickly shuck oysters. Occassionally, an oyster will not allow you to open via the hinge. This knife allows you to pierce from the side, insurt and twist. I use True Blue gloves to make the task easier and safer.FYI: Fridays are my oyster days because they are a buck a piece at Whole Foods.

Got into shucking oysters at home and this is a great knife. I got the version that the tip is tilted in a little bit. Works great just use a cut glove when you are a beginner.

I shuck dozens and dozens of oysters everyday for work and this Shucker has been a game changer. So easy to use, the blade is pointier than others I have use but not sharp enough to cut you, making it easier to break through the the hinge on the oyster and easily key turn it open. The shorter blade gives you a lot more leverage as well. It has only been a few weeks but so far it is great.

Really great product, easy to hold, the tip is sharp and opens the oysters easily.

I own a high-end oyster focused omakse raw bar so if theres one thing I know, its how to shuck an oyster. I've tried many, many, knifes most suck, this one doesn't. It has a much tighter angle on the blade (especially at the point) so you are able to get into smaller openings much easier and sever the abductor muscle with ease, making it super accurate. However, there are trade offs, that tighter angle means it's much weaker and susceptible to breaking, it also means you can't open those larger oysters with this knife either.That's just how it will always be until someone figures out a way to bend physics or make a new material. Which I don't mind, I actually prefer to use a knife like that and just buy a new one every couple months. This is one of the better blades I've tried, its comparable to my favorite knife: Deglon 6-Inch Oyster Knife, Dune. This blade lasted me about a month, the Deglon has consistently lasted me about 2 months. Although, I would take that with a grain of salt (hehe) because there's a lot of variability there. I also prefer the handle shape of the Deglon, as does almost everyone i've showed it to, as it gives you much more control. However, if you really want to be precise in your shucks and like that traditional handle, i'm sure this will fit your needs perfectly.However I think the causal shucker would rather buy one oyster knife that can shuck every oyster and will last them many years to come. Thats this knife: Dexter-Russell (S137PCP) - 4" Galveston-Style Oyster Knife - Sani-Safe Series. I've bought one and had it for the past two years, using it almost daily, it's an absolute beast. However, it's harder to be more precise with your shucks as sometimes the more rounded blade wants to kind of push through things rather than cut through things.Moral of the story:Do you want to accurately shuck only small-medium oysters at the trade off of a weak tip? Get this knife if you want a tradition handle. If you want a handle that is a little bit different and in personal opinion better, get the deglon.Do you want to buy only one knife that will be able to shuck any oyster for years to come? Get the DexterCan't decide what you want? Just buy all three, that's what I did and I definitely don't regret it. Although, I probably won't be buying this knife again, unless I get bored.

Well I googled best oyster shucking knife and this one came up. It lived up to its reputation. It’s shucks them with less effort, and the blade is short and sturdy and appears strong. I used it a number of times and it worked well . Like the polypropylene handle , gives better grip I think. Nothing opens them like magic , except a lot of experience, always wear a protective glove to save your hands

I have tried every style of oyster knife in existence and most of the widely sold knives and this is the best one for me.They make a more expensive version of this knife with a wood handle but the synthetic handle version is both cheaper and provides for a better grip.Just ignore any reviews where people claim that they bent or broke the tip. You aren't supposed to try and pry the shell open until you can get a significant enough length of the blade into the joint. Of course you are going to break the tip or bend it if you try and pry the shell open with only the barest amount of blade in the hinge.

Very nice oyster knife, easy to use and solid. Fits my hand well. I would buy this again.
