The R. Murphy New Haven Shucker is a classically styled oyster knife with a bent tip that helps to pry the shell open with ease. This design is well suited for beginners and professional shuckers alike. The blade of this knife is short and wide with a curved tip that helps to apply just the right amount of pressure to cleanly shuck a half shell by the hinge without piercing the flesh of the oyster. This is a good design for someone who is concerned that they may poke their hand with the tip of the blade as the curved tip of the shucker curls away from the user making this design safer than other alternatives. R. Murphy's proprietary ECOgrip® handle is durable and easy to clean. This environmentally friendly material is good for the planet and extremely hygienic, so it's safe to use in restaurants, seafood markets or home kitchens.
If you're looking to try oyster shucking for the first time this is a great first oyster knife that just may become your last.
