Toadfish Professional Edition Oyster Shucker Knife

Big, thick-shelled oysters? This is the knife for them. The Toadfish Professional Edition Oyster Shucker is built for thicker-shelled oysters, commercial-volume kitchens, and experienced shuckers. Its blade is thicker than the signature Put 'Em Back knife, with less flex, more shucking power, and more leverage. When oyster season rolls around and the sacks start coming off the Gulf Coast reefs, this is the one you'll reach for.

Why shuckers like it

• Handles the big ones. Toadfish built it to open larger, thicker-shelled oysters like those found on the Gulf Coast.
• Thicker blade, less flex. You get more shucking power and more leverage than the signature Put 'Em Back knife.
• Sharp tip and sharpened sides. The tip slips in for easy entry, and sharp edges along the entire sides cut oysters cleanly from the shell.
• Bent-tip Japanese stainless steel. The blade is stain-free and rust-resistant.
• Grip that stays put. The ergonomic thumb-print handle helps keep your hand from slipping, which makes shucking safer.
• Built to last. The blade runs through the handle, which makes this one of the most durable oyster shuckers on the market.
• Gives back to the reefs. A portion of the proceeds from every Toadfish product goes directly to oyster habitat restoration projects.

FAQ

Will it open large Gulf Coast oysters?
Yes. Toadfish designed the Professional Edition to open larger, thicker-shelled oysters like those found on the Gulf Coast.

How is it different from the Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife?
The Professional Edition has a thicker blade with less flex, more power, and more leverage, plus sharpened edges along the entire sides. The Put 'Em Back is the signature all-around knife, sharpened on the tip section only, and isn't designed for large raw "rock" Gulf Coast oysters. It's also included in the Coastal Kitchen Collection.

Is it good for beginners?
It's built with experienced shuckers in mind, and the sharp tip and sides call for care. Newer shuckers can absolutely use it, just go slow and protect your hand with a towel or glove.

Can it handle steamed oysters too?
Yes. It's a multi-purpose oyster knife for raw and steamed oysters.

Will the blade rust?
The blade is stain-free, rust-resistant Japanese stainless steel. Rinsing and drying it after use keeps it in top shape.
