Sure, you can use your EDC to shuck oysters and shell shrimp – if you don’t mind wrenching your wrists and risking a painful stab wound. The Opinel Oyster and Shellfish Knife is a smarter, safer choice – not to mention it’ll make a handsome addition to your cutlery collection. The hefty blunted 12c27 mod. blade gives you the torque to twist open stubborn shells, while the rounded tip reduces the risk of a painful poke if you happen to slip. A chunky Padouk wood handle resists swelling, so it’ll hold up in humid and wet situations. The simple, easy-to-clean folding mechanism boasts Opinel’s exclusive Viroblock™ safety ring that locks the blade open or closed. Best of all, you don’t have to shell out a lot of money for a quality knife!
