Oyster knife N°09 6.5 cm, padouk wood, Opinel

Product detailed description

Oysters are among those dishes where the serving itself begins with a small test of determination. The N°09 oyster knife is for everyone who wants to get through the shell as quickly as possible to that part of the evening for which the bottle of white wine was actually chilled.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°09 oyster knife is a specialised folding knife designed for easy opening of both flat and cupped oysters.
• The short 6.5 cm blade provides high control when opening shells and allows you to work precisely in confined spaces.
• The distinctly pointed shape of the blade makes it easier to penetrate the hinge of the shells and subsequently release their seal more safely.
• The edge is sharpened only in the area of the tip, which corresponds to the specific method of use when opening oysters.
• The specialised design is suitable for opening flat and cupped oysters of various sizes for both home dining and outdoors.
• The compact folding design makes it easy to pack the knife for a picnic, a trip to the seaside or outdoor dining.
• The European-sourced martensitic stainless steel reaches a hardness of 55-57 HRC and offers high resistance to corrosion.
• The steel used provides high mechanical resistance, which is important during regular contact of the blade with hard shells.
• High resistance to abrasion helps maintain the working properties of the blade even during repeated use on hard materials.
• The handle made of exotic padouk wood is dense, fine-grained and naturally suitable for environments with increased humidity.
• Padouk impresses with shades ranging from purple-brown to pinkish colour complemented by characteristic violet veining.
• The varnished surface of the handle provides the wood with additional protection against moisture and dirt during normal use.
• The 11.82 cm long handle provides plenty of space for a secure grip during controlled opening of tough shells.
• The Virobloc safety ring allows the blade to be locked in the open position during work and closed for safe carrying.
• The knife is made in France, its design is patented and it is backed by a lifetime warranty.
