Below are pictures taken at different angles of an oyster knife my
father made back in the 80's. My Grandfather (Jeff) was an oyster
shucker in New Orleans when Daddy was young. I'm going to assume Paw-Paw
showed Daddy how to not only use one but make them too! Homemade kitchen
utensils were not uncommon years ago.
