Oyster Shucking Knife and Gloves Set - Premium Oyster Knife and Oyster Shucking Glove Kit - Professional Oyster Shucker Clam Knife Oyster Opener Tool in Lovely Box - Bonus Ebook and Brochure Included

I love this set! My brother received one for Christmas, and I used it to shuck 2 dozen oysters on New Years Eve. I ordered my own set the next day.I am able to shuck a dozen oysters in the time that my old knife could open 3. The knife is very sturdy and the blade is sharp and strong. I have fairly large hands (very long fingers) and the size medium gloves fit very well.I highly recommend this set!

Worked really well for shucking. Only issue was the knife chipped

Ordered the knife as a present for my daughter, who had a cheaper plastic handle knife. First time used the blade tip bent. The blade is smaller and thinner than the cheaper knife, so I don't know if that's the issue. Nice looking tool, looked good, felt good, just failed on first try. Too expensive to not return.*** Important update : Melocean customer service contacted me immediately and explained the reason for the tip failure. This knife should not be used on hinges, as stated in the instructions. We discussed a possible remedy for this misunderstanding, and they are sending a replacement knife at their expense. Excellent job of follow up on their part.

I tried it first time and it was great for inserting it into the oyster. I was scared to open more than a couple yesterday since it looked very fragile and small. Today I decided to go at it to either break it or send it back.I have never shucked oysters faster than today. I love them and I usually order 100-200 at a time. All you have to do is insert the tip in there and give it a twist and wow. No more than 2 seconds for each oyster. Unreal. If it breaks I will send it back but I am telling you after 40 oysters in a very fast pace, not even a scratch on the knife. Don’t push, twist.Then I noticed the tip has a bend to it from the factory. I am guessing that had I noticed that before it would have made it even easier if that’s possible.So far I am giving it a 5 star as it worked like nothing I have ever seen before.

The knife is nice. I have used for hinge shucking and have not had the bent tips other have experienced (Wellfleet/Cape ousters). But it is starting to have rust spots after 4 uses....I will update if Melocean contacts me.UPDATE - Melocean did contact me promtly and their support was excellent. Shipped a replacement quickly and without fuss. They did reiterate to use the knife for side shucking, not hinge. So switching to a 5.

Way too thin... I bent the tip on my second oyster (see pic). I've shucked thousands of oysters and this knife is worthless! While I always try to shuck oysters so that a slip won't hit my hands, PLEASE use the gloves because a slip with this pointy thin and reasonably sharp knife will cause some serious hurt!! I'm going to return it and try to get a refund in spite of the damage to the blade...UPDATE: I was contacted by Melocean customer service a day and a half after posting my one-star review, so in fairness to them, I decided to post this update. Basically, they feel the blade bent because I shucked the oyster trying to pry open the hinge, which is correct and the way I've done it for years. According to them, their knife is popular in France and the way to use it is to use the knife to separate the sides (see pic I added of their product use guide). They offered to send me a replacement knife, but I don't like the idea of aiming a sharp knife at my hand in spite of the glove - the "hinge" method I was taught and use allows you to hold the oyster with the hinge away from your hand so that a slip doesn't hit anything (usually).So, if you shuck at the hinge like I do, don't get this knife (especially for fresh Gulf Coast oysters that can be hard to "pop") and instead get something heavy duty, like a made-in-USA Dexter "New Haven" knife. I do give Melocean customer service 5 stars for their efforts, but my Malocean knife is going back to Amazon for a refund.

The knife is amazing. The gloves are too slick and slippery and I cannot wear them while shucking. I wear my husband’s gardening reinforced leather gloves instead.

Excellent quality!

I gave it a one only because I could not give it a zero. This broke on the third oyster. My son is a chef and was purchased as a gift for him. He said the blade is not thick enough to shuck oysters. Save your money and do not buy this one!!!!
