Review on 🔪 Premium Oyster Shucking Knife and Gloves Set - Professional Oyster Opener Tool with Protective Shucking Glove - Complete Oyster Shucker Clam Knife Kit in Elegant Box - Bonus Ebook and Brochure Included by Wendy Owens

Too thin. On the second oyster I bent the tip (see picture). I've shelled thousands of oysters and this knife is worth nothing! Although I always try to clean oysters so as not to get my hands on the tip, PLEASE use gloves as slipping off this thin and rather sharp knife can cause serious injury! I will return it and try to get a refund despite the damage to the blade. UPDATE: Melocean customer service contacted me a day and a half after posting my one star review. To be honest, I've decided to release this update. Basically they feel like the blade is bent because I shook the oyster off trying to open the loop, which is correct and is how I've been doing it for years. According to them, their knife is popular in France and the way to use it is to use a knife to separate the sides (see the image I've added to their product usage guide). They offered to send me a replacement knife, but I don't like the idea of having a sharp knife pointed at my hand despite the glove - the "hinge" method I was taught and use allows to hinge the oyster. away from your hand so the slide doesn't (usually) hit anything. So if you're a slingshot like me, don't reach for that knife (especially for fresh Gulf Coast oysters, which can be hard to "pop") and instead buy something heavy like a US-made Dexter- Knife "New Haven". I give Melocean customer service 5 stars for their efforts but my Malocean knife is being sent back to Revain for a refund.
