The Opinel No. 9 Oyster Knife is a specialised folding knife for opening oysters and shellfish. It features a short, sturdy stainless-steel blade with a blunted edge and sharp point, designed to efficiently open shells without damaging the meat. The handle is made from durable, moisture-resistant hardwood, typically Padouk. Like other Opinel knives, it includes the Virobloc safety ring for secure locking.
