Victorinox Oyster and Clam Knives

Shucking Safely
Hold the oyster cupped side down in a folded towel or a cut-resistant glove, such as the Victorinox PerformanceShield 2 cut glove, with the hinge toward you. Work the tip into the hinge, twist to pop it, then run the blade along the inside of the top shell to cut the muscle.
Care
- Rinse in fresh water after shucking and dry before storing.
- Oyster knives are not sharpened like kitchen knives; keep the tip intact and the blade straight.
