Our beautifully finished pakka wood handle fits comfortably in your palm and offers a skid free grip allowing you to safely open oysters even when your hands are wet. As an added safety feature, our oyster knife also boasts an oversized hand-guard that will protect your hands from the oyster if the knife slips during shucking.
