The Put ‘Em Back oyster knife was developed by generations of oystermen. It combines all the elements of a traditional oyster shucker with a modern look at ergonomics and the physics of shucking an oyster perfectly and safely. This artfully crafted multiple purpose knife will shuck raw or steamed oysters and its sharp blade will cut them out of the shell with ease.

Let's Put 'Em Back
We are committed to cleaning coastal waters by replanting and replenishing oyster habitats throughout the country. Nature has provided the filter-feeding oyster to keep our coasts clean and teeming with life. A single oyster filters up to 50 gallons of coastal water per day, removing the toxins from run off and creating a habitat where hundreds of species like fish, crabs, and shrimp can thrive.
All Toadfish sales support planting oyster beds, and now we have a non-profit for our conservation efforts, too. We've spent years building partnerships with organizations around the US, and have set up a coalition for the cause.

I was skeptical at first, how different could an oyster knife really be? But man, the Toadfish Put ’Em Back knife completely exceeded my expectations. The handle feels solid and comfortable in your hand, with just the right amount of grip. The blade is strong, sharp, and perfectly shaped for getting into stubborn shells without slipping or bending.
If you’re on the fence like I was, take the plunge. This thing is perfection.
I was the main Oyster shucker at “Stringers Tavern and Oyster bar” from day one, until its final day. There was only one brand I went back to. It was always the Toadfish Put ‘Em Back oyster shucker. Every gift giving occasion I’d purchase one for my coworkers, and went through about 1 a year myself. I can not recommend this shucker any more other than these shuckers can go through hell. To Busy Buck a Shucks to hectic holidays, the Put ‘em back shucker has been my right hand’s man.
Love the blade tip angle for most oysters. Since we’re in the oyster business not one knife suits every size/species. The handle fits my hand perfectly, and the double sharp edges at the tip sever the adductor muscles well. I’ll be purchasing more of these for sure; some as gifts.
An elegant and obviously well designed oyster knife…haven’t had a chance to try it out yet but will soon. Quick shipping and nice website. Thanks!

I got this knife for my oyster-loving son in law two years ago and he loved it! Then a friend accidentally threw it off his boat…so I replaced it this year and he was most appreciative. It’s the only knife he finds to work really well. Thanks for a great product and a quick delivery!
My husband was gifted your shrimp peeler last year and swears it is the best one he has ever had so I gifted him the oyster knife this year. Again, he says it is the best one he has ever had. Thank you for making such quality products. We are happy to support a small business with a great mission.
Best oyster knife I've used! Tried a bunch, from cheap knives from the bait and tackle shop (mine also sells oysters and crabs) to really nice knives but shells broke and the cut wasn't clean, then I ordered the Toadfish knife and it slides its way through Oysters! Just ordered a second for use at the beach!
This is my second Toadfish oyster knife. When I lost the first one, it was a natural that I would replace it with another Toadfish. I have used a half dozen different kinds and styles over the years, and this one is the one I love.
Just used it for the first time - it's GREAT!! Far superior to others that I have. I even bought 3 more for gifts so that other friends, that love fresh oysters on the half shell, can have one.
This oyster knife fits nicely in my hand (I have small hands) as well as my husband's.
It is well-made and a very solid construction is solid. It will be constantly on our boat.
This is the 4th or 5th time purchasing this oyster knife as a gift. I LOVE mine so much, and when I am at a party or our family's annual oyster roast in NC, everyone wants one of their own!
I live in the Lowcountry but grew up in Florida. I worked my way through college partially by tending bar and shucking oysters at a place called The Mullet Boat. Suffice it to say I know what I’m talking about and this oyster knife is the best in the market and it’s not even close. I’m just glad I got mine before they tripled the price because that’s what it’s worth. Toadfish rules!
