This is the innovative French-made oyster opener only from Hammacher Schlemmer that uses a spring-loaded blade to shuck juicy shellfish quickly, cleanly, safely, and with less effort. Simply pressing the device’s blade against the oyster’s shell compresses an internal spring, that when fully retracted, automatically thrusts the blade into the oyster so you can easily cut the muscle and separate the shell. Designed for safe shucking, the oyster opener’s durable plastic body has a thumb/finger guard, and its stainless steel blade has a rounded tip. Hand wash. Black. 9 3/4" L x 1 1/2" W x 1" D. (1 lb.)
