Pearl Farming Seep Opener Tool
A seep opener tool is used in pearl surgery (a technique for extracting pearls from oysters without killing the host mollusk) to carefully open the oyster’s shell. This tool helps create a gap in the shell without damaging the oyster’s tissue or the pearl. The key features of a seep opener for pearl surgery include:
Slim and Curved Design: To slip easily between the oyster shells without causing damage.
Non-Slip Grip: For precision and safety during delicate operations.
Gentle Edges: Rounded or blunted edges to avoid cutting or harming the soft inner tissue of the oyster.
Durability: Made from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel, as it frequently comes into contact with seawater.
Specialized Variants: Some tools might include additional features like clamps or adjustable tips for working with different sizes of oysters.
