Culinary Knives

Handmade 6" boning knife of Carptenr BD-1 stainless steel. Locally sourced hardwoods from Charlottesville, Virginia. The handles are pinned using Corby bolts.

We approached our friend Daniel at Silverthorn Knife and Tool to make us a batch of his famed boning knives but we wanted them handled in our own wood which we cultivated from Zack's farm here in Charlottesville which was once land owned by Meriwether Lewis and his family. We sourced figured Black Walnut and clear grain Black Locust. Meriwether's home is actually called Locust Hill because there are so many locust trees there. These are great woods and look fabulous on the Silverthorn Boning Knife. 

These knives feature Carpenter Steels BD-1 which is a stainless alloy comparable to VG-10 from Japan is a very easy steel to sharpen and maintain its edge. You will not be let down by these knives!

This full tang oyster shucker design is something new we are trying out here at Monolith. It seems in the world of Oyster Shuckers... standing out in the crowd is pretty hard these days. As the saying goes, "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" 

So... we decided to follow our friends at Town Cutler and try out a design they perfected featuring a full-tang construction. Of course we made some tweaks of our own but we certainly wont be claiming the design on this one, just the quality and craftsmanship! 

"Full-tang" means that the blade steel runs all the way through the handle for strength, with pins and a small Lanyard hole if you need it. This design is more suited to those folks who prefer to pry their oysters open at the hinge, a bit different than our Chesapeake Shucker, which is designed for bill shucking. The Full Tang Shucker is durable and strong, and will have no problem tackling any oysters you throw at it.

The Damascus is hand forged from 1084/15n20 carbon, and is available in several different patterns including twist, random, and raindrop. The handles are made from a variety of hardwoods stabilized by K&G in Arizona.

These shuckers weigh around 7.5 oz

Blade length is 2.5" at the bevels and overall length is 7.25"

Please note: Oyster Shuckers can easily rust after sitting left in a bowl of brine or even just in general use. Oysters are creatures from the ocean. They have natural, oceanic salts and fluids in their bodies. Always rinse your oyster shucker off with clean water and wipe it dry before setting it down or storing it. 

And like all Monolith Knives, never place it in the dishwasher!
