F. Dick 3-inch Oyster Knife
Small, delicate oysters with wavy shells, such as Kumamotos, Olympias and Belons, need a precise knife, and this 3-inch F. Dick oyster knife has a pointed tip and a sharpened edge to find the hinge and cut the adductor muscle cleanly.Most oyster knives have a blunt blade, which can crush a fragile shell. This one has an edge ground into it, so it also opens clams, which need to be cut rather than pried. The pointed tip slips into a tight hinge with little force, and the short blade gives control close to the hand.At a raw bar, a dedicated knife for small oysters also speeds up service. It keeps the presentation neat on the half shell.For larger, heavier oysters, the F. Dick 2.25-inch stainless steel oyster shucker is the counterpart. Protect the hand holding the shell with a folded towel or a cut-resistant glove. Our knife shapes guide covers oyster and clam knives. Learn More$28.60 -
