Shucking oysters is an art form, one that results in the reward of the salty treasure within, but one that requires the right tools to comfortably and successfully pry open the sharp, yet surprisingly elegant, oyster shell. Those who have tried without such a tool or technique have the injuries and scars to tell the tale.
Our thoughtfully designed Oyster Shucker features an ergonomic handle, handcrafted from genuine Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrel Staves for a touch of rustic charm and Pappy Van Winkle-inspired hospitality and history. Made in partnership with Middleton Made Knives, this is a meticulously designed oyster knife featuring a convenient built-in bottle opener. This beautiful, versatile, two-in-one Pappy Barrel Stave Oyster Shucker is an essential tool for an elevated Oyster Roast.
This knife was crafted in partnership with our friend, Quintin Middleton, from Middleton Made Knives in Saint Stephens, South Carolina. A true collaboration from a master artisan who is dedicated to his skill and artistry in creating beautifully functional pieces that are the true standard bearer in bespoke kitchenware.
Care Instructions: As the natural wood of the bourbon barrel stave used to create this Oyster Knife will dry out over time and use, we suggest periodically applying food-safe mineral oil with a dry cloth, towel, or sponge to maintain the care and luster. Rinse with mild soap and warm water and dry immediately. Never soak the knife directly in water, and minimize overall exposure to water. Not dishwasher safe.
