Oyster/Shucking knife

[docjavadude]

I'm very interested in the OP's question about finding a nice, fairly inexpensive shucking knife. My drawer is filled with cheap ones (like Oxo or whatever else my fish monger had in a bucket by the cash register), but I'd love to upgrade. The Victorinox was suggested. One of the posts showed a nice set of 8 or 12 shuckers (wouldn't the guests be impressed?!?). But beyond the collectables and the oddities, what would you recommend for good, long, thin, oyster shucking knives?

This pistol grip oyster shucking knife was designed by and is used by former world oyster chmpion and Guinness record older (38 in 1 minute) Patrick McMurry of Starfish in Toronto.

I know cracking large oysters takes a bit of tork with a small knife.Who can argue with that 38 pistol grip setting Canadian & American records.30 CDN Bucks:gunner:

Chef Niloc would you have any interest on parting with one of the old vintage ones?
