Can anyone provide some advice on the oyster shucking devices advertised on the Internet? Generally, they range in price from $50 to $120, all using a lever to push a stainless steel point into the joint or an edge of the oyster shell. Are any of these products better than the next?

I picked this up decades ago at our Berkeley fish store. This and an old dish towel are all you need.
