Description
Opinel’s No. 09 Oyster knife features a short, thick blade forged from Sandvik stainless steel for maximum rigidity during shucking. The laminated birch handle keeps the classic Opinel silhouette while resisting moisture. Compact, affordable, and unmistakably French.
Simply French
A basket of Marennes-Oléron oysters, a wedge of rye bread, salted butter—and an Opinel that pops each shell with satisfying ease.
Compact enough to tuck into a picnic basket, sharp enough to impress a sommelier.
Savoie Roots
Since 1890, Opinel has shaped handles from sustainably harvested birch in the French Alps, laminating for moisture resistance without losing the natural grain.
The Sandvik 12C27 blade is hardened to 57 HRC—exceptional rigidity in a compact form.
Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
