I was coming to post that

I wasn't sure so left it out. It is a nice knife though.

I wasn't sure either.

I want an oyster knife, but have never had turned up to restaurant that didn't have its own. Is it golf club that I haven't opened my own fresh oysters. Have had in cafe and restaurants in France but never the UK.

I haven't opened my own fresh oysters

Unless you’re a fishmonger or a cryo-preserved 18th century fishmonger’s daughter, it’s probably not unusual.

I dunno, I live near Whitstable and oysters are cheap easy to come by. The sell knives for a couple of quid in the fishmongers. I keep meaning to grab one.

Haha!

I have never eaten oysters, I'd like that knife though.

I was going to ask what oysters taste like but now I won't ...

But, seriously, if I had to describe the taste and texture I'd say it's like slurping up a very salty grolly. It's not for me.
