We have seen, evaluated, used, purchased, and sold thousands of knives. It has been our goal all along to design our own custom knife to combine the best attributes we have found in those other knives. We considered the handle grip and shape, the grade of stainless steel, its size and weight, blade thickness, and beveling all premium features to create this high-performance oyster knife. Designed in Charleston, South Carolina our shucker was chosen by a Top Chef Charleston contestant in the "Shuck Off" at Boone Hall Plantation Cotton Dock. Each knife comes with a black nylon sheath that holds the shucker and can attach to a belt buckle.
