Best Shucking Tool On The Market

Our Put 'Em Back™ Oyster Knife 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.

Customer photo review of Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

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.

Customer photo review of Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

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.

Feels good in the hand and works beautifully.

Store owner replied: We love to hear it ! Glad it's a great fit and getting the job done!

Great product! Very sturdy and effective, even on larger, harder-to-open oyster shells.

Actually I’m remodeling my kitchen and haven’t been able to shuck. But based on my daughter’s experience, I know I’ll love it

Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

Great oyster knife! Well balanced with a very comfortable ergonomic handle. Opens oyster fabulously.

Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

Used a friend's and liked it, so ordered one for myself. Now I just need to live closer to fresh oysters!

Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

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! Ralph Dauphin Island, AL

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!

This is a great oyster knife. I already have one, and bought this one as a gift for my son

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.

This oyster knife is the best! This is the third one I’ve given as a gift.

Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

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!

Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

well made, ergonomically accurate- very good product. how about some different colors and handle material?

Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

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.

Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

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.

Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

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.

Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife

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!
