Monolith Knives Gallery of Work

This full tang oyster shucker design is something new we are trying out here at Monolith. It seems in the world of Oyster Shuckers... standing out in the crowd is pretty hard these days. As the saying goes, "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" 

So... we decided to follow our friends at Town Cutler and try out a design they perfected featuring a full-tang construction. Of course we made some tweaks of our own but we certainly wont be claiming the design on this one, just the quality and craftsmanship! 

"Full-tang" means that the blade steel runs all the way through the handle for strength, with pins and a small Lanyard hole if you need it. This design is more suited to those folks who prefer to pry their oysters open at the hinge, a bit different than our Chesapeake Shucker, which is designed for bill shucking. The Full Tang Shucker is durable and strong, and will have no problem tackling any oysters you throw at it.

The Damascus is hand forged from 1084/15n20 carbon, and is available in several different patterns including twist, random, and raindrop. The handles are made from a variety of hardwoods stabilized by K&G in Arizona.

These shuckers weigh around 7.5 oz

Blade length is 2.5" at the bevels and overall length is 7.25"

Please note: Oyster Shuckers can easily rust after sitting left in a bowl of brine or even just in general use. Oysters are creatures from the ocean. They have natural, oceanic salts and fluids in their bodies. Always rinse your oyster shucker off with clean water and wipe it dry before setting it down or storing it. 

And like all Monolith Knives, never place it in the dishwasher!
