It features a folding design that allows for easy and safe stowing, making it convenient for carrying on a boat or in your pocket while heading to the beach. The short, robust blade is specifically designed for easy oyster opening, and the Virobloc locking ring ensures that it stays closed when not in use, while also being easily openable when needed.

The knife boasts a blunted blade with a sharp tip, which is ideal for oyster shucking. The padouk wood handle is resistant to swelling, making it perfect for use in humid and wet environments.

When it comes to care, it's important to note that Opinel wooden-handle knives are not dishwasher safe. Heat and moisture may cause the wood to swell, making the knife difficult to open. Therefore, it is recommended to hand-wash the knives and let them air dry. The Sandvik 12C27 Mod. Stainless Steel used for the blades is low-maintenance and highly resistant to rust. It can be easily cared for or polished with simple organic oils.
