Matching the prowess of a true professional, this superb Laguiole oyster knife with a mussel shells handle enables you to position your thumb near the blade’s tip for protection in case the blade slips on the oyster. How to open an oyster:
1. Hold the oyster in your hand with the pointy end or hinge facing you. With the knife in hand, position it about one centimetre from the tip, at about two-thirds of the oyster’s length.
2. Insert the knife into the shell’s hinge.
3. Sever the muscle holding the two shells together.
4. Use your thumb to lift the upper shell and detach the oyster’s flesh from the top shell using the knife.
5. Discard the upper shell and drain the initial liquid.
6. Arrange the oysters on a serving platter and enjoy.
Recycled Mussel Shells
"Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed," so goes the famous adage by Lavoisier.
Sea enthusiasts and landlubbers alike will find delight in this unique oyster knife, with a handle thoughtfully fashioned from mussel shells, finely ground and bonded with resin.
The concept may surprise, but it carries a virtue: reminiscent of the Vikings, who crafted knife handles from deer antlers, we now turn our waste into eco-friendly and practical resources.
France champions innovative recycling, transforming these shells into nourishing feed for poultry or organic fertiliser for farmland, demonstrating that with imagination, what was once waste can be given new purpose.
