shuck away!
i read all the reviews before i bought this knife, some were pretty helpful and some were pretty inaccurate. For one, this knife is not for professionals. I've only learned how to shuck oysters recently. I only know one technique so far - going straight for the hinge. Just work at the hinge a few runs, and once you feel the hinge giving, slow down and ease back on the force, the gently twist and you're in. I haven't tried to slide the knife along the side of the oyster, but i suppose that would work too.also, three comments mentioned that this knife is "wimpy," "garbage," and a "waste of time." I don't really agree with them. I've purposely tried to bend this knife. the only thing that gave is the "pop" of the oyster. It's fairly sturdy, and for under 10 dollars, i don't think I can complain.I recommend this knife, whether amateur of not. cheers and enjoy your meals.

Professional Skill Knife - Not for the amateur
This is an excellent knife but not for the amateur. It is designed to open an oyster from the side by sliding it along the side groove along the top and bottom shell. By entering from the side you can cut the abductor muscle and flip the top-shell off. It is not a "top-popper" that is designed to open the oyster from the hinge. However, if you sharpen this knife it can be used for hinge-entry by moving the knife with a side-to-side motion while applying pressure, once an incision is made you can then turn your wrist while rocking and pop the hinge. In any case, shucking is an art that you develop over time. I shuck for a living and anyone (a previous reviewer) who takes 20 minutes to open 36 oysters is not a professional but is laughable. The bottom line is if you don't open oysters on a regular basis, and don't really know how to open an oyster, then get a top popper knife with a thick shaft. But if you know what you are doing or want to learn the slick and easy way to open an...

The Best of Three
I own a total of three oyster knives and this one is by far the best. The tapering at the tip of this knife is the feature I like the best. Also, unlike some broad bladed knives, the narrow blade is easier to insert into the smaller, and yearling, oysters. The handle is not too thin and even allows a decent grip for my wife's smaller hands. The guard could be slightly larger but it's been good enough to save me during the occasional slip.

Excellent buy!
I've been enjoying exploring the world of oysters lately and have began serving them at home. Nothing beats a fresh, clean, delicious oyster! Been through about 3 oyster knives in my search for the fastest yet most delicate opener to get into my oysters.A good oyster knife needs to be...sharp and strong enough to dig into the oyster,narrow and graceful enough not to break up the shell or flake debris into the inside of the oyster,and short enough to not end up damaging the meat of the oyster while opening.This knife fits all of these qualities and has been serving me well. I plan on buying more for guests, and getting rid of my other kinds of oyster knives.

Does the job well!
After struggeling to open oysters without an oyster knife I purhased this one. I looked at all the reviews and decided that simple was better. The blade is sturdy enough that it does not bend at all when prying. The tip and blade are sharp enough to make quick work of the oyster's foot. The work hand remains a good grip even when wet. I have seen the same knife in restaurants and seafood bars. You can spend more but do not need to. I usually get 4 dozen oysters which take about 10 minutes to open. Certainly not as fast as a professional but what's the hurry?I usae a kevlar glove on my other hand to hold the oyster. The protects as much from the oyster's sharp edage as well as an errant slip of the knife (Hasn't happend yet).

all you need
I shuck 300 to 800 oysters a week. This knife does the trick. The New Haven tip cracks open the hinge and goes right into the muscle. Quick turn and the bottom muscle is cut. Role over the oyster and ready to serve. I do have to do a quick sharpening every other week. The handle is tought, sanitary and does not dig into the palm of your hand after shucking several hundred oysters.

Product Description

Victorinox, makers of the Original Swiss Army Knife, has been crafting fine cutlery since the later 1800's. Oysters knives are unique in the world of cutlery. To shuck an oyster a chef is presented with the task of "splitting a rock" first then proceeding to properly process the most tender of meats hidden within. In this endeavor no standard knife will do. The Victorinox New Haven Oyster Knife is an ideal design particularly when perfect oysters on the half shell are desired. The forward bulge in the handle serves as a stabilizing thumb rest while the more narrow body behind it enhances a good grip for the rest of the fingers. The rear of the handle is bulged again for good support in the base of the palm. The fairly short, carbon steel blade has rather dull edges, the underside is gently convex and the top side is flat. The blade is fairly wide and does not narrow much for about three-fourths of the way towards the top. In about the last fourth of the blade it narrows to a sharp point and the lower convex blade side starts to elegantly taper to the blade point from both sides. Unlike other oyster knife designs, the tip ends up sitting high in the place of the blade. This presents two advantages to an oyster lover. First, the tip design allows excellent leverage, second, the tip tends to travel high inside the oyster above and away from the tender meat. The New Haven Oyster Knife is the best choice for opening any small and medium sized oysters for half shell consumption. Top to learn more

Great overall oyster knife
Overall I really like this knife. Just did a 100ct of James River Oysters (which I think are Med to Large) today for a party and found it much better than my previous knife. Someone recommended the curved tip "New Haven" style who had shucked at an oyster bar and it really worked well for these oysters. Granted, it think these are easier than others I have done in the past. Benefits of this knife include-non-slip handle, good handle size for my Med size hands, VERY solid stiff blade, curved tip that was thin enough to wiggle into the joint. Nice curve also helped cut the abductor easily. Broad enough turn the meat after cutting. Granted only one day of use so we will see how it holds up, but it still looks brand new and more importly still feels solid. Price was a bit high, but if it lasts, well worth it!

Better than the Wusthof
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...

A hand towel would probably be easier
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.

Just received 2 days ago and tried on a dozen of oyster yesterday, it works pretty good. But for a newbie, I suggested to go on YouTube to watch a few chefs for their tips, you will find it works even better. Not sure how it works on clams

Staying ahead of sharp things
Just going to secong several posts already here. I use a mandolin for preparing foods, and I collect swords that need to be maintained. Nothing is absolutely gauranteed to stop a slash or puncture in case of an accident, but these Kevlars provide some measure of safety and give you a chance to react to those accidents and maybe drop the trash before you're seriously harmed.No complaints using these. I bought the larges because I wear size 11 gloves and these fit me very well. Price was great and they were mailed fast.
