The problem

Shucking oysters with a tea towel and a slippery knife, one slip away from a nasty cut.

Why it makes a great gift

This wooden holder takes the risky part out of shucking. Lay the oyster in the curved cradle and it is locked firmly in place against the front plate, so the shell no longer twists or slides as you push the knife in.

Your free hand rests on the wood rather than under the blade, and the knife enters the hinge with steady, controlled pressure. It works flat on a worktop or board, and it is small enough to slip into a Christmas stocking.

Perfect for…

You know someone who loves oysters but dreads opening them.

They host seafood platters at Christmas or New Year.

You want a useful gift for the person who already has every kitchen gadget.

They have nicked a hand on an oyster knife before.

Locks the oyster, frees your hand

01

Locks the oyster, frees your hand

Set the oyster in the curved wooden cradle, hinge facing you, and the front plate holds it firmly while you work.

Your hand presses on the wood, well away from the knife, instead of gripping a wet shell through a towel.

Steady, controlled knife entry

02

Steady, controlled knife entry

Because the shell cannot twist or skid, the knife goes into the hinge with steady pressure, then a simple twist pops it open.

It makes a platter of oysters feel far less daunting for beginners and much quicker for regulars.

A stocking filler they will use all season

03

A stocking filler they will use all season
