No. 9 Folding Oyster Knife

The perfect coastal companion! This knife was designed for shucking oysters and other shellfish, with a short, thick blade that is dull along the sides and only cuts at the tip. The folding design makes this oyster knife ideal for coastal camping trips or shucking oysters in the field when you harvest your own.

The padouk wood handle is ergonomic and is resistant to swelling in humid environments, and the locking ring keeps the blade open/closed for safe shucking or transport.

Materials: Padouk wood, Sandvik Stainless Steel

Dimensions: 2.5" blade length, 7.20" x 1" x 1" when open

Hand wash only. Do not leave submerged in water as the blade may warp. Wipe the blade dry before closing.

Opinel has been crafting knives and hand tools in their factory in the town of Chambery in the French Alps for over 130 years. In 1890, Joseph Opinel invented their iconic pocket knife, which has changed little since its invention and has been featured in international design exhibitions because of its brilliant simplicity. They have expanded their line over the years, but every new addition stays true to the simplicity, elegance and craftsmanship of that original knife.
