The Victorinox Oyster Knife is a purpose-built powerhouse designed to make quick, safe work of one of the kitchen’s most satisfying challenges—shucking oysters. Whether you're a seasoned seafood lover or a home cook ready to try your hand at opening fresh shellfish, this tool delivers precision, safety, and Swiss-quality performance with every use.
At the heart of this kitchen essential is a 1.5-inch plain edge oyster blade made from Victorinox’s proprietary stainless steel. Engineered for strength and corrosion resistance, the blade holds up to the tough demands of shellfish prep while maintaining a smooth, controlled feel. It’s the perfect shape and length for navigating oyster shells—just sharp enough to get the job done efficiently, but designed to prevent accidental piercing of the delicate meat inside.
The blade features a hidden tang that runs into the durable handle for added strength and long-term stability. A well-integrated finger guard adds an important safety measure, helping you maintain control while protecting your hand during those trickier shucks. The handle itself is crafted from black nylon, known for its resilience and lightweight comfort. It’s textured just enough for a steady grip, even when your hands are wet or working over a tray of ice.
Measuring 6.62 inches overall with a .12-inch thick blade, this oyster knife feels balanced and secure in the hand. It’s designed to withstand the torque and pressure that often comes with opening oysters, giving you the confidence to work efficiently without forcing the blade or compromising safety. At just 3.84 ounces, it’s light enough for extended prep sessions yet robust enough to handle heavier workloads.
Victorinox is a name synonymous with precision and reliability, and this oyster knife lives up to that reputation. Whether you’re prepping for a backyard seafood boil, serving fresh oysters on the half shell for a dinner party, or building your professional kitchen toolkit, this knife brings professional-grade quality to your culinary lineup.
