From Orient local and food editor Jane Lear: I bought my Opinel pocket knife ($27) in France 30 years ago, and it has accompanied me on picnics and road trips ever since. Recently, Opinel’s folding oyster knife ($23) caught my eye. It's easy to lock in place, and the blade is sturdy enough for prying open our fabulous local oysters and thin enough to effortlessly release the meat from the bottom shell. Stocking Stuffer Department? Practical meets cute in the mini-pocket-knife keychain ($13).
