Can you shuck an oyster with a knife?

Asked: Tyler Nalevanko, Last Updated:

To open—or shuck—an oyster, all you need is an oyster knife and something (usually a towel or glove) to protect your hand. I've seen a lot of people shuck oysters using the wrong tools: butter knives, steak knives, screwdrivers, and even a letter opener. Don't be tempted.
