These simple and elegant, straight and twisted handle oyster knives are crafted from a high-carbon steel railroad spike. Each spike maintains its’ aged appearance by keeping the natural patina.

How is a knife made?  First the shape is formed by heating and hammering. Once the shape of the spike is created, further shaping and blade sharpening continue by using the grinder. Final step involved using the wire brush to give it a finished touch.

Caring for knives…soap or Brillo-type steel wool pad and water, coat with olive oil to maintain sheen and avoid future rusting.
