Review on 🔪 Swissmar Shucker Paddy Universal Oyster Knife: Effortlessly Open Oysters With Black Handle by Dragan Nelson

Paddy Shaker has made my days so much easier. I clean oysters at the raw bar of an oyster specialty restaurant, and this shuker is one of two types of knives you really need to cook any type of oyster. I shell 200-400 oysters a day, 5 days a week and have had one of these knives for about a month now. It cut my ticket time in half because it opens fragile West Coast oysters without damaging the shell and East Coast oysters almost as easily. I would recommend you also have a sturdy hook tipped suker for heftier oysters like Bay or the huge banks of Standish. It's a nimble tool, not a power tool, so I tell reviewers who say they broke it that they need to learn how to shell an oyster again. Place this on the back end of the oyster and gently twist and you should feel the oyster open a little. Then insert a knife and cut the tendon and the shell will open. Best Shuker hands down.
