About the knife steel:

AEB-L is an awesome steel alloy from Sweden originally formulated as a blade steel for industrial applications, eventually making it way to become on of the most popular steel choices for custom kitchen knives. It is often preferred by many professional chefs and homecooks even over carbon. This steel is strong, durable and holds an awesome edge. It is will provide you with an excellent edge and is very easily serviced using a whetstone. 

Even though this is a corrosion resistant steel alloy, It should never be left sitting in a sink full of water or a pot. Stainless steel can rust if misused or not cared for properly.

Our knives are not intended for, nor will they survive being put into a dishwasher! We offer a full warranty on our knives, however, damage due to negligence (rusting of blade) and or dishwasher use will require a repair fee.

Born from roots and tradition of Oyster farming and shucking on the Chesapeake Bay, dating back to the early 1800's. Our Chesapeake Shucker follows a design and shucking style that is generations old called bill shucking. This style hearkens back to knives historically used in oyster shucking houses, restaurants, and homes throughout the Chesapeake Bay region. 

Monolith's Chesapeake Shucker is made for bill shucking from the front, not for attacking and prying the hinge like a mini crowbar. With a thin blade, this knife provides quick and clean access to severing the oyster from its shell. The shape of our blade has been narrowed for efficient access to the oyster shell and then has been given a slight edge for cutting the muscle. Our handle is designed to fit in your hand comfortably through many, many oysters.

See specific instructions here.

Our shucker blade is of Damasteel, a high-grade stainless Damascus that is both durable and beautiful. The blade, measuring 2.5" is securely fit into a turned handle made of stabilized wood. The wood handles are mostly domestic species like Walnut and Cherry, sourced directly from Zack's farm, but we do limited runs of other interesting species and/or burls when we get them. The ferrule functions to give a secure hold on the blade under shucking pressure for added durability.

And just like any Monolith knife...performance and beauty go hand in hand.
