The Oysters are coming! Oyster Knife By HiCoup

Oyster Knife by HiCoupMonths with a letter R in them means seafood. And next month is September and it’s time for oysters.

Normally we don’t look at knives on this site as many other’s consider the definition of cutlery to include only knives. But we look at all knives, forks and spoons. And boy is this a great looking knife for the kitchen or BBQ. This oyster knife has a hit list by HiCoup:

  1. A classic oyster knife designed by HiCoup, a North American based company with a history of designing fine kitchen tools
  2. The durable and solid pakka wood handle ensures a firm, comfortable grip.
  3. The “full tang” mirror finish 420 stainless steel blade gives the knife the strength it needs to open oysters and makes it incredibly durable for years of use.
  4. The large guard will protect your hands from hitting sharp pieces from the oyster shell.
  5. Versatile enough for any shape and species of oyster.
  6. 100% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION GUARANTEE

And a warning! – Although an oyster knife is relatively blunt compared to an ordinary kitchen knife, the fact that you often need considerable force to open an oyster would still mean that if your knife slips it could significantly damage your hands. So please exercise safety when opening oysters.

Nantucket Seafood Seafood Doohickey

Nantucket Seafood Seafood DoohickeyI’ll admit this right up front, the word “Doohickey” is what attracted me to this item. I just love the sound of it and I love the fact that this is indeed what these long handled forks are called. The true definition of the word Doohickey is “an object or device whose name you do not know or have forgotten”.

These two tined forks are the perfect cutlery for getting seafood out things like lobster and crab. They are about 9 inches long and also great for getting olives, pickles and the like out of jars. They might be sold as a single use flatware item but these Nantucket Seafood Seafood Doohickey forks are great for more than just seafood.

And just think of that moment when you ask someone to grabs the Doohickies out of the cutlery drawer!

Colorful Cutlery! – Fiesta Merengue 5-Piece Hostess Set

Fiesta Merengue 5-Piece Hostess SetColor, Colour, Color! (The extra spelling is for my Canadian readers and an old joke around here). We reviewed the Fiesta 20-Piece Merengue Flatware Set back in 2014 and just discovered the Hostess Set.

This hostess set is made of dishwasher safe 18/0 stainless steel and ABS plastic. The 5 pieces consist of a slotted serving spoon, serving spoon, serving fork, sugar shell and butter knife. I wouldn’t have called it a sugar shell but rather a sugar spoon myself.

Fun Fiesta Flatware For (um…I’ve run out of alliteration ideas) Fun? It’s a great price for a nice set.

Bruntmor Steak Knives for BBQ Season

Bruntmor steak knivesIt’s BBQ season around our house and that usually means steak and the best steak deserves the best cutlery. This collection of steak knives from Bruntmor really caught my eye.

This 16 piece set of three pronged forks and serrated knives is made of dishwasher-safe 18/10 stainless steel. I really like the look of the hinged wooden cutlery box. A lot of thought went into the balance and weight of this flatware.

Great for a gift or treat for yourself and it’s a great price.
