How To Choose The Best Oyster Shucking Knife
When buying the oyster shucking knife, everyone wants to buy the best products, so we will help you do that with the following suggestions.
Type Of Oyster
Each oyster has a different size and taste, so you have to pick a suitable knife to shuck it.
For instance, Boston knives can open an oyster at any size. However, Frenchman knives can only shuck smaller oysters. Meanwhile, Galveston knives work with big oysters.
If you like both oysters and clams, you should buy oyster shucking knives because this knife type is enough robust to open these shellfish.
Type of Knife
We have 4 types of oyster shucking knives. The first type is the short slightly curved, and wide blade. There is a similar knife type but it is not curved. Next, the knife type has a longer and more narrow blade. Lastly, we can pick the knife type that is short and wide with higher sharpness to determine the oyster’s weak part more easily.
You should consider the type of knife based on your favorite oysters and advice sellers.
Type of Blade
The oyster shucking knife is often made from stainless steel or high carbon. Some products may have high alloy ingredients. Hence, this kitchenware will be durable and tougher.
The blade length is from 2 to 4 inches with rounded and tapered ends or not.
As you can see, the blade type is also important to pick the suitable right knife to shuck oysters.
Type of Knife Handle
The knife handle is the department that you will hold while shucking oysters, so you should be careful to check this factor.

Besides, the knife handle should be comfortable to hold and strong enough to create leverage. Plus, The handle has to be nonslip to prevent the knife from cutting your hand.
Weight And Handling
It is a bit challenging to balance a smaller knife, and it takes much time to take care of larger knives. However, smaller knives are typically cheaper, you don’t have to put too much force and effort.
You can opt for a cheap knife for 1 or 2 meals. If you are a professional cook, a high-end knife is an excellent choice. You should try the knife by hand to identify how it feels. If you go shopping online, you may check the handle and blade materials, then compare the knife weight.
After doing the above actions, you can determine the knife balance. The lighter knives may be better, but they don’t have enough force to produce the leverage to open oysters. Consider heavy-duty knives to get the best balance.
The Knife Guard
Some oyster shucking knives include sheaths. This detail can protect your knife in the best condition. Others may have a stylish box to store knives and turn them into a beautiful gift.
You can consider these things based on your financial situation and purposes to use.
Guard Gloves
Some manufacturers add guard gloves to the oyster knife shucking knife set. You may consider this factor if you want to protect your hand against sharp shells. Especially when you are a beginner to shuck oysters and need to ensure hygiene.
However, if your knife is stuck to the gloves, you should wear off them and try another method to shuck oysters safely.
Versatility and Efficiency
Each oyster shucking knife type is for an oyster form, so it is inconvenient to open other oysters or seafood. You should buy a knife that can help you handle many different shellfish.
Alternatively, your knife also should open the shell rapidly without using too much force. If your oyster shucking knife breaks the shell or punctures the oyster meat, don’t purchase it.
Price
According to your finance, you have to consider the oyster shucking knife’s price. If you want to give someone a gift, a knife set with a nice box is ideal although its price is a bit high. If you sometimes need to open oysters, you don’t have to buy too many expensive knives.
