5.0 out of 5 starsExactly what it is supposed to do!
By Adam on July 27, 2009
Style Name: Oyster Knife
After reading many mixed reviews on this knife I was reconsidering whether or not to buy it. Granted...it is a very inexpensive purchase but why waste money. There is much confusion on what an oyster knife is supposed to do. Remember, it is not a pry bar. It is all about blade placement, not brute force. I have a feeling that many of the negative reviewers don't know how to properly open an oyster. Lets review:

1. Hold the oyster (rounded side on the bottom) in a kitchen towel with one hand and oyster knife (with the curve in the blade facing up) in the other. (you can stabilize it on the counter as well)
2. Find where the two halves come together on the hinged end. That is the end opposite to where you would think the oyster would "open" up. Sometimes this part can be tricky if the oyster is laden with barnacles. After a few you will be good at finding the "spot".
3. With even pressure drive the point of the knife into hinge/crack and rock it slightly (if needed) to sever the hinge. Do not let the whole knife go into the shell. You will know it when it pops.
4. Remove the point and wipe it clean on the towel (this avoids bits of shell going into the tasty part)
5. Place the tip back into the opening and work it in a sweeping motion loosening the meat from the top of the shell. It done right, as you work towards the far end, the top with pop off on its own.
6. Lastly, run the tip under the meat to release it from the bottom shell, leaving the meat and liquid in the convenient "little bowl".
7. Enjoy!

I just finished shucking over 100 oysters (Kumamoto and Miyagi) with this knife without even a hitch! My thought is....buy this knife and learn the technique. You will not be disappointed.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsgood for small nuts
By it on December 11, 2003
Style Name: Nut and Seafood Cracker Verified Purchase
The wide handles make it easy to crack small nuts without hurting your hands. It does not work very well for large nuts since you tend to increase the pressure and when the shell cracks you mash it to a pulp.
For large nuts I suggest the Zyliss model. Having both of these you will be more than a match for any nut.

5.0 out of 5 starsNot your grandfather's nutcracker!
By Reviewer Dr. Beth #1 HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on January 9, 2010
Style Name: Nut and Seafood Cracker
I'm from an Italian family, and we always had bowls of nuts that my grandfather shelled for us kids after holiday dinners. I never realized just what a difficult job cracking those nuts was until my husband and I recently attempted it ourselves--unfortunately using the same flimsy type of metal nutcracker that my grandfather used to use. The very next day, I went out and purchased this Oxo Good Grips Slim Nut/Seafood Cracker. I was a little hesitant, as it seemed a bit pricey, but I brought it home, telling my husband that it was an early Christmas gift for him. Well, he was the first to use it, trying it on a Brazil nut--you know, the ones in the mixed nut bag with the thickest, hardest-to-crack shells. We were both taken aback when, after he had barely exerted much pressure at all with the new Oxo Nut Cracker, the nut easily came apart in his hands! We found this product worked just as well on larger nuts, like walnuts, as did on smaller nuts, such as almonds and hazelnuts. The weighty feel and larger size make the Cracker easier to hold, and the black grips decrease the risk of slippage. We haven't yet tried the Cracker for seafood, but I am confident that the Oxo would perform just as well as a Seafood Cracker as it does with nuts. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 starsProfessional Skill Knife - Not for the amateur
By Ron Buck on December 3, 2005
Style Name: Oyster Knife
This is an excellent knife but not for the amateur. It is designed to open an oyster from the side by sliding it along the side groove along the top and bottom shell. By entering from the side you can cut the abductor muscle and flip the top-shell off. It is not a "top-popper" that is designed to open the oyster from the hinge. However, if you sharpen this knife it can be used for hinge-entry by moving the knife with a side-to-side motion while applying pressure, once an incision is made you can then turn your wrist while rocking and pop the hinge. In any case, shucking is an art that you develop over time. I shuck for a living and anyone (a previous reviewer) who takes 20 minutes to open 36 oysters is not a professional but is laughable. The bottom line is if you don't open oysters on a regular basis, and don't really know how to open an oyster, then get a top popper knife with a thick shaft. But if you know what you are doing or want to learn the slick and easy way to open an oyster, this knife is exceptional and I use it every day.

5.0 out of 5 starsshuck away!
By Mike Wong on February 25, 2007
Style Name: Oyster Knife
i read all the reviews before i bought this knife, some were pretty helpful and some were pretty inaccurate. For one, this knife is not for professionals. I've only learned how to shuck oysters recently. I only know one technique so far - going straight for the hinge. Just work at the hinge a few runs, and once you feel the hinge giving, slow down and ease back on the force, the gently twist and you're in. I haven't tried to slide the knife along the side of the oyster, but i suppose that would work too.

also, three comments mentioned that this knife is "wimpy," "garbage," and a "waste of time." I don't really agree with them. I've purposely tried to bend this knife. the only thing that gave is the "pop" of the oyster. It's fairly sturdy, and for under 10 dollars, i don't think I can complain.

I recommend this knife, whether amateur of not. cheers and enjoy your meals.
