My dad's a Michelin chef — though he'd just call himself a food-and-wine addict. One evening he made a rough little wooden tool to open oysters and showed it at dinner. Nobody could guess what it was for. Then he dropped an oyster in and opened it in seconds — no struggle, no fear of slipping.

Something clicked: everyone who loves oysters but is scared to shuck them needs this. We rebuilt it from scratch, and we've kept improving it with every single person who's used it since.

That's the OysterClamp.
