Solid Construction, Seamless Fit

Every OCK oyster knife blade is CNC-machined from stainless steel for precise edges, consistent quality, and a flawless fit. Each blade features a full 4.42" tang that runs deep into the handle, anchoring it for long-term strength and balance. After machining, blades are overmold-injected with the textured polypropylene handle, fusing the materials into one solid, resilient tool built to last.

Engineered for the Job

Crafted with high-grade stainless steel, the OCK blade is built for lasting performance in coastal environments. Its dual finish, stone-washed and bead-blasted, offers both rugged durability and a refined working edge. Dishwasher safe, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, it’s engineered to stand up to salt, grit, and the daily grind of shucking.

The ergonomic profile supports a two-handed grip, giving shuckers the option to apply extra force with precision. The dual scraping edges, primary and secondary, enhance efficiency when severing the top and bottom oyster muscles. A rounded spine provides a safe, stable spot for your secondary hand or fingers, giving you greater control and leverage where it counts.

What types of oysters does this knife work with?

The OCK Oyster Knife is built for East Coast, West Coast, wild, or farmed oysters. The pointed hinge blade works well for tough hinges, while the thin, rounded blade is ideal for side shucking. Whether you’re working a mix of oysters at home or behind the bar, this knife keeps up.

Made for beginners and pros alike

Is this knife good for beginners or experts shuckers?

Both! Hinge shucking is perfect for new shuckers, compact, controlled, and easy to learn. Side shucking is ideal for more experienced shuckers, it’s faster and more efficient once you learn the pressure. This knife supports both methods, so you can start slow and keep going with speed and precision as you improve.

Step-by-step tips for shucking oysters

How do I learn to shuck?

Every oyster is different, but shucking gets easier with practice. Start slow using the hinge technique, find the hinge, apply light pressure, and pop the shell. Watch our tutorial for visual tips. Once comfortable, try side shucking for speed. Don't rush it, precision and safety matter more than opening one fast.
