OPI N°9 Folding Oyster Knife, Padouk Handle OPINEL
Designed with both safety and function in mind, the Opinel No.09 Oyster Knife is a thoughtful take on a classic tool. Its folding design makes it easy to tuck away for transport-perfect for bringing along to the beach, the boat, or wherever oysters are on the menu. The short, sturdy blade is centered for better control while shucking, giving you the leverage you need without feeling unwieldy.
Unlike traditional knives, this blade features a blunted edge with a pointed tip specifically designed for opening oysters safely and efficiently. The padouk wood handle holds up beautifully in damp environments, and Opinel's signature Virobloc® locking ring keeps the knife securely open or closed when you need it. A reliable, well-designed tool for anyone who loves fresh oysters.
Why Opinel?
We’ve been carrying Opinel for years now, and it all started with their colorful prep knives—the No.112 and No.113. They’re still some of our best sellers to this day, even as the colors change. They’re approachable, easy to use, and just make sense in the kitchen, which is exactly what we look for when bringing something into the shop.
From there, it’s been fun to expand into more of what Opinel does best—folding knives designed for real life. The corkscrew bottle opener knife, oyster knife, Picnic+ set, and more all follow that same philosophy: simple, functional tools you’ll actually use. It’s a line that feels at home whether you’re cooking, packing a picnic, or heading out for the day—and that versatility is what keeps us coming back to it.
