I based this design off of a Japanese oyster knife that I really enjoyed using, but I hated the feel of the handle:

The tip would roll after a lot of use, so I flattened it out and modified the handle, making it much more comfortable to use. Using .094 AEBL treated at 60-61 HRC and a convex edge, this thing pops stubborn oysters like no other! It's hefty. I'm really satisfied so far with it. I lent a prototype to a private chef who told me it was his favorite oyster knife by far. Hope you like the pics!
