This is a vintage Oyster knife, used on Willapa Bay for hundreds of years in the canneries.  It was used to open oysters and would last two to three weeks, depending on the force used to open the oyster. These old knives are rare now a days, they make them a bit different today.  I would say this knife was used in the 70s or there about. It is in good condition & comes with some history of Willapa Bay. Some crafts took them & made letter openers out of them!!  This particular knife is made by Russell....most were home made by local men who honed their craft for many years.
Vintage Oyster knife from the Water of Willapa Bay, probably used a time or two, made by Russell.
