Toadfish Put em Back Oyster Knife

The Put ‘Em Back oyster knife was developed by generations of oystermen. It combines all the elements of a traditional oyster shucker with a modern look at ergonomics and the physics of shucking an oyster perfectly and safely. This artfully crafted multiple purpose knife will shuck raw or steamed oysters and its sharp blade will cut them out of the shell with ease.

Once you shuck an oyster with a Toadfish® oyster knife blade, you will know why folks call these knives “the most thoughtfully designed oyster shuckers ever created”.

Toadfish Professional Edition Oyster Knife

Designed for opening thicker-shelled oysters, use in commercial-volume kitchens, and for the experienced shucker, the Toadfish professional edition oyster knife is for serious oystermen.

This commercial oyster knife features a thicker blade design than the signature Put Em’ Back® Oyster Knife with less flex, more shucking power, and increased leverage. This knife also sports a sharp blade edge for easy entry so please use caution when handling.

WHAT MAKES OUR OYSTER KNIFES UNIQUE?

  • Sharp tip & sharpened sides designed for professional/commercial-volume kitchens and the experienced shucker.
  • Capable of opening larger thicker shelled oysters like those found on the Gulf Coast.
  • Japanese stainless steel, stain-free, rust-resistant  blade with a bent tip design
  • The ergonomic thumb print handle design eliminates hand slippage making shucking safer.
  • Use two Allen wrenches, 2.5mm to tighten as needed.
  • Blade through design creates one of the most durable oyster shuckers on the market.
  • A multi-purpose oyster knife designed to shuck raw and steamed oysters.
  • Sharp edges on the entire sides of the knife for cutting oysters easily from the shell.
