  • Oyster shucking device
    Patent number: 4787123
    Abstract: A device for separating the shells of an oyster and removing edible meat cleanly from one of the shells. A flat-surfaced blade is inserted into the hinged connection between the shells and then twisted around the blade axis to break the shells apart. The blade side edge has a convex oviform profile that enables the blade to slide under the edible meat in one of the shells, whereby the meat can be scooped out of the shell in one easy motion.
