Buy the Opinel No. 09 Stainless Steel Folding Oyster & Shellfish Knife online for $13.00 — a 50% discount off the $26 compare-at price. It's built for seafood lovers, beachgoers, boaters, and home cooks who want safe, controlled oyster shucking in a folding pocket knife.
Unlock the stainless Virobloc safety ring and fold out the short, robust blade — its design centers the knife's axis so leverage drives straight into the oyster hinge. Insert the tip at the hinge, twist to pop the shell, slide the blade along the top shell to sever the adductor muscle, and remove the top shell. Cut the bottom muscle free and serve. The short blade keeps your hand close and controlled, reducing slip risk versus a long chef's knife.
Yes. The Virobloc ring has a fixed section and a sliding section that locks the blade open during shucking and locked closed in your pocket or boat bag — a key safety advantage over fixed oyster knives.
Sandvik 12C27 stainless resists corrosion from brine and moisture. Padouk wood is dense and water-resistant; rinse after use, dry, and occasionally oil the wood and hinge. Hand wash only.
Oyster roasts, raw bars at home, beach picnics, clam and shellfish prep, and boat carry. Pairs naturally with the Opinel No. 10 corkscrew knife for a complete seafood-and-wine kit.
Fixed oyster knives shuck well but can't stow safely in a pocket. Multi-tools compromise blade shape. The folding No. 09 delivers a purpose-shaped short blade with secure locking at a discount price no competitor matches at this quality.

Unique in its folding design, the Opinel No. 09 centers a short, robust Sandvik stainless blade on the knife's axis for easy, controlled oyster opening — then locks closed for safe carry.
Lock the blade open, insert the short blade tip at the oyster hinge, twist to pop the shell, sever the top muscle, then free the meat from the bottom shell. The axis-centered design gives straight, controlled leverage.
Yes — the two-section Virobloc safety ring locks the blade fully open during use and fully closed in your pocket, beach bag, or boat kit.
Buy it at Cutter's Bench for $13.00 — 50% off the $26 compare-at price — with free shipping over $45 and an extra 10% off with coupon BENCH10.
Rinse after each use, dry thoroughly, and hand wash only. Occasionally oil the Padouk wood and the blade hinge to prevent drying and keep the Virobloc ring smooth.
It shucks with the same short, sturdy blade shape but folds and locks closed for safe stowage — ideal for beach, boat, and pocket carry where fixed knives aren't practical.
The short, stubby blade is exactly right for oysters — it gives you leverage without the terrifying long blade of a dedicated shucker. The Virobloc lock keeps everything rock solid, and the padouk handle gripped well even with wet, briny hands. Took it to a cookout and shucked for eight people like a pro. This is now a permanent beach-bag resident.
The padouk wood is gorgeous — deep red tones that photographs don't do justice. Works wonderfully on oysters and clams alike. Folds up safely into a pocket, which no other shucking knife does. Brilliant little tool from France.
Keeps it safe and legal in my pocket, opens oysters no problem. The tip is tough enough for the hinge but still gets in through the lip when needed. Wish it were a touch longer for really big oysters, hence four stars.
Works as described but the folding design means the blade sits a bit shallow for big Gulf oysters. For medium sizes it's perfect. The lock is reassuring. Mixed feelings but I do keep using it.
Pocket-safe shucker that actually works. Bought a second one for my dad.
As someone who spends summers on Cape Cod, I've gone through cheap shucking knives for years. This one folds, locks, and the stainless steel shows no rust after a full season of saltwater abuse. The padouk handle has aged beautifully. My Sunday raw bar routine is much easier now.
Loved it at first — nice heft, lovely wood. But the tip chipped working the hinge on my third oyster, which is the main job of a shucking knife. Maybe I was too aggressive, but I expected tougher steel. Disappointed.
