Overall I really like this knife. Just did a 100ct of James River Oysters (which I think are Med to Large) today for a party and found it much better than my previous knife. Someone recommended the curved tip "New Haven" style who had shucked at an oyster bar and it really worked well for these oysters. Granted, it think these are easier than others I have done in the past. Benefits of this knife include-non-slip handle, good handle size for my Med size hands, VERY solid stiff blade, curved tip that was thin enough to wiggle into the joint. Nice curve also helped cut the abductor easily. Broad enough turn the meat after cutting. Granted only one day of use so we will see how it holds up, but it still looks brand new and more importly still feels solid. Price was a bit high, but if it lasts, well worth it!

Not much to say except this knife is admirably designed to do the required task with safety and comfort. It's not sharp, more like a little tire iron but it really does the job.

I bought 3 dozens of oysters on sale thinking how awesome it will now be not to pay $3 a piece and chuck it myself. Well, by the 3rd oyster, the knife chipped, by the end, the knife was shredded. The blade is very thin and I would not recommend using it for oysters.

Very solid blade and handle. Just sharp enough for shucking, but not dangerously sharp. Curved New Haven style blade is a great choice to easily reach the abductor.
