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 standing up to 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 chuck in 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.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
