Carter I. ★★★★★

The 66-layer Damascus cladding isn't just for looks—it's got a nice heft that makes prying open stubborn oysters feel effortless. Broke down a dozen littlenecks in about eight minutes flat, and the blade hasn't needed a single touch-up since.

Julian ★★★★★

The AUS-10V steel core holds an edge like nothing I've used before—I've shucked two dozen oysters tonight and haven't needed to touch the stone. The 3.5-inch blade is nimble enough for littlenecks, and that diamond-sharpened tip glides right under the hinge without mangling the meat.

David ★★★★★

I’d read that the AUS-10V core holds an edge well, but I didn’t expect it to glide through a dozen oysters without me having to pause and resharpen. The 66-layer cladding looks gorgeous, yet it’s the grip and balance that really make the task feel effortless.
