Unique in its folding design, the No.09 Oyster Knife was designed to safely stow away, making it easy to carry - whether that’s on a boat, or in your pocket as you head to the beach. With a short, robust blade the unique design centers the knife’s axis to facilitate easy oyster opening. Thanks to the Virobloc® locking ring, it will stay closed when you want it to, and open when you need it to!
While Opinel is known for its signature sharp blades, this knife features a blunted blade with a sharp tip, specific to oyster shucking. The padouk wood handle is resistant to swelling, and utilized for its ability to hold up well in humid or wet environments.

Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
as stated above, i use it for certain crafts projects now, due to it being easy to bend and break. I'm having fun with it. it's a good knife, and the oysters sometimes don't hurt the blade, but i'd recommend other knives.
This is my third time purchasing an oyster knife from Opinel so everyone in our family can have one at our oyster roasts. I love the locking feature, strength of the blade, and foldable feature of this knife. It goes everywhere with me just in case there is a pop up oyster roast in our area!
The folks at Opinel are first class to order from. Since I had never owned an Opinel I thought it was time to give one a try. I’m an EDC enthusiast and kept seeing Opinels time and again in various EDC displays. Something about the age of the company and design of their very simple wood and steel design appealed to my sense of nostalgia. These knives remind me of a time in our worlds history when things were much simpler and down to earth. I’m glad I purchased two of their offerings to add to my collection. Great knives at a great price. Extreme value for the money! Thank you Opinel!
I usually use the OXO oyster blade for shucking but after reading the review of David, dated 8/4/2019, a professional cook, I wanted to give it a try. I think the hinge method with OXO oyster knife is a lot safer and more durable than doing the sideways method with the Opinel. There is no blade guard for the knife hand and no protection for the hand holding the oyster if the blade were to slip and/or the knife hand could also be cut on the shell. Also, the tip of the blade bent after shucking about 2-3 dozen Chesapeake oysters.
I have owned and loved many Opinel knives over the years, but they missed the mark on this one. The tip of the blade bent on the very first oyster that we tried to open! It is a good looking knife, but the steel of the blade is neither thick enough or hard enough, and the width of the blade makes it easy to torque out of shape.
