The shapes of the knives are specially designed for opening oysters in a safe, fast and easy way.
The oyster knives of the family Ostrea Edulis are available in two styles: single and double bladed.
The double bladed knife has two functions:
The straight blade is used for opening the oysters joint and cutting off the muscle where it's attached to the flat shell. The curved blade is used for cutting the muscle in the other, bowl shaped, half.
The single bladed knife has the same shape and function as the straight end on the double bladed knife.
Follow the steps below to opening oysters with Helgess oyster knife.
