Unique in its folding design, the No.09 Oyster Knife was designed to safely stow away, making it easy to carry - whether that’s on a boat, or in your pocket as you head to the beach. With a short, robust blade the unique design centers the knife’s axis to facilitate easy oyster opening. Thanks to the Virobloc® locking ring, it will stay closed when you want it to, and open when you need it to!

While Opinel is known for its signature sharp blades, this knife features a blunted blade with a sharp tip, specific to oyster shucking. The padouk wood handle is resistant to swelling, and utilized for its ability to hold up well in humid or wet environments. One oyster knife with folding blade.  Made in France.

Care

Hand wash and air dry are recommended.

About Opinel

Opinel has manufactured and marketed a line of eponymous wooden-handled knives since 1890 from its headquarters in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne France. Opinel knives are made of both high carbon and stainless steel. Originally sold as a working man's knife, an Opinel knife has now become emblematic of French culture. Even Pablo Picasso is said to have used one of the company's knives as a sculpting tool.
