Mercer CulinaryBoston Style Oyster Knife with Poly Handle, 3 Inch, White

OK how did I survive in the kitchen this long and this many years without this wonderful tool. Absolutely a must and any kitchen

I own five other name brand oyster knives, and this is second to none.

It is well made and at a good price. It fits in the hand comfortably and does the job well.

It definitely works good because of it's slim, heavy duty (But, Not a heavy piece)

Worked as it should, but husband sharpened one side of blade a little, works better for him now. Overall, satisfied with it.

Very easy to use, even for a beginner.

Nice oyster knife. It easier to use

I don’t recommend this item. It really sharp. Not easy to handle. I’d cut myself with it.

This is my first shucking knife. I've been using it every week for oysters and find using it very easy.This grip is good and the knife is long enough to detach even the bigger oysters. The blade is sturdy enough for the job and is not sharp, perfect for the job.I couldn't be happier with this product.

Exactly what I needed and the 2nd cheapest option on Amazon. If you want something fancy with a polished wooden handle and presentation box that will be passed down the generations then this is not the knife for you. However, if you want something that is perfect for opening oysters then this is what you are looking for. After watching a couple of videos on YouTube I set to work on a 1\2 dozen. By the second oyster I was as good as the videos and by the 6th even my wife was impressed with my skill!

Having tried several oyster knives over the years, they have all been useless. I bought this one this year. The blade is long and narrow enough to get into the oyster with ease and for the first time ever I have had no difficulties opening them. The handle fits well in my hand and the blade feels, looks and is very strong - the shells inevitably broke before any decent pressure put on the blade. THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Wish I had bought a shucking knife before as making do with other items is time consuming and can be dangerous. I found the blade shape used by most Chef's and settled on the Mercer knife.The knife has good grip and releases the oyster valve quickly with little damage to the shell.It seems durable but I have only opened a dozen oysters with it. However very much quicker than with the other implements I have used.

Brilliant knife that makes opening oyster an easy job! The handle is good and the blade is very sturdy.I bought at the same time a knife that has a shorter but larger blade but didn't manage to open a single oyster with it.With this knife it was easy to insert the knife between the 2 parts of the oysters.
