The lens-shaped blade slips between the shells, and the form-fitting handle lets you shuck with confidence and speed. It is useful for cheese, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSAMURA makes the blade from a single layer of \u003cstrong\u003eAUS-8 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and hardens it to \u003cstrong\u003e58–59 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. For you, that means an edge that copes well with regular use and is easy to touch up on a whetstone when it needs it. AUS-8 is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel, but like any knife it should still be washed by hand and dried soon after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003elens-shaped blade\u003c\/strong\u003e has a sharp tip and a thin, curved edge. Slip the tip between the two halves of the shell and use it to prise the oyster open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beige handle is made from \u003cstrong\u003eTPE\u003c\/strong\u003e, a thermoplastic elastomer that feels soft and pleasant in the hand. Thanks to its form-fitting shape and non-slip texture, it gives you a secure grip, even when it is wet. Overall, the knife measures 197 mm and weighs 120 g net.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShucking oysters quickly and with confidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlipping the tip between the shells and prising them open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore its first use, rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry. After that, clean it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left lying in the sink. Keep it in a brush block or knife holder where the blade cannot touch metal items. Look after the edge with a honing rod between sharpenings, and sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Pearl series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pearl started life as a design shaped by hand out of clay and launched a new generation of oyster knives designed for efficiency.
