Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Did you know?

Romans farmed oysters over two thousand years ago

Oyster farming is ancient. Roman writers credit a businessman named Sergius Orata with raising oysters in the Lucrine Lake near Naples in the early first century BC, and oysters soon became a fixture of Roman banquets. The basic challenge has not changed since: prising a tightly closed shell open without slipping, which is the job of the short, stiff blade and sturdy bolster on oyster knives like this one.

How to use

Entering from the side when hinges crumble

Some oysters have brittle hinges that break apart instead of popping. Going in from the side solves it:

Hold the oyster flat side up in a folded cloth, with the hinge tucked towards your wrist.
Look along the side for a spot where the two shells meet with a slight gap.
Slide the 6 cm blade in flat between the shells and rock it gently until it enters.
Sweep the blade along the inside of the top shell to sever the muscle, then lift the lid away.
Slip the blade under the meat to loosen it, and pick out any shell crumbs with the tip.

On this Pakistan knife, the brass bolster in front of the acacia handle acts as a stop, keeping your hand behind the blade.

Gift ideas

For the friend who orders oysters every time

With its warm acacia handle and polished brass bolster, this 16 cm knife looks as good on a table as it works in the kitchen, which makes it an easy present:

A seafood lover's birthday, wrapped with a voucher for an oyster bar or a dozen from the fishmonger.
New Year's Eve hosts who serve oysters with sparkling wine.
A couple moving to the coast, as a housewarming gift with a linen shucking cloth.
Anyone who has just taken a shucking class and needs a knife of their own.

As a stainless Pakistan knife, it copes well with brine, and the brass slowly mellows to a soft patina.

Questions & answers

Brass and acacia oyster knife: common questions

How much does this Pakistan knife cost, and is there a wholesale price?

US$2.88 per piece (PKR 1,306 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$2.02 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Will the brass bolster tarnish?

Slowly, yes, and many owners like the warm patina. To restore the shine, rub on a little brass polish with a cloth, keeping it off the wood, then wash and dry the knife before its next use.
