In four simple steps

Hold the oyster flat in a folded cloth, with the hinge towards you.

3Twist to open

Turn the knife to pop the shell, keeping the blade away from your hand.

4Free the oyster

Slide the blade under the oyster to release it from the shell.

Would buy again

Really pleased with this oyster tool, didn't expect much but it's practical handy. My son was the one who noticed it felt sturdier than our old tool.

Not bad

It was okay overall, but I would not call it flawless. It helped a little, though I expected the job to feel easier.
