Victorinox Oyster Knife – Precision for Delicate Shellfish
The Victorinox oyster knife with a 7 cm blade is specially designed for opening oysters with precision and control. The knife features a compact, flexible stainless steel blade that glides efficiently through oyster shells, combined with an ergonomic black handle that provides a secure grip even in challenging conditions.
Ideal for both professional kitchens and home cooks who value quality tools when preparing shellfish.
A Precision Tool for Oysters
The specially designed 7 cm blade is developed specifically for handling oysters. The blade's shape and flexibility allow you to find the right entry point and cut precisely through the muscles holding the shells together. This minimises the risk of damaging the delicate oyster and ensures a clean opening every time. The carefully considered balance between the blade's strength and flexibility makes the task noticeably easier compared to ordinary knives.
A Secure Grip in All Conditions
The black synthetic handle is designed with safety and comfort in mind. The non-slip surface provides a stable grip even with wet or greasy hands – a common situation when handling shellfish. The ergonomic shape reduces strain on the hand during repeated use, which is particularly valuable for chefs and restaurants serving large quantities of oysters. The knife's overall length of 166 mm and width of 36 mm ensure optimal balance and manoeuvrability.
Maintenance and Care
To preserve the knife's functionality and service life, hand washing and thorough drying after use are recommended. The knife is not dishwasher safe, as this can affect both the blade's sharpness and the handle's durability. Should professional sharpening be required, H.W. Larsen offers this service at their workshop with over 85 years of experience. Proper care ensures that the oyster knife remains a reliable tool for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you open oysters with this knife?
Locate the point where the shells meet, insert the blade tip, and twist gently to break the seal. Then run the blade along the shell to sever the muscle.
Can the knife be used for shellfish other than oysters?
The knife is specially designed for oysters but can also be used for certain other shellfish, though with somewhat less efficiency as the blade shape is optimised for oyster opening.
