Oh they were for sale 20 years ago. Due to a lot of factors, mostly lack of capital, the business was not successful. The market for oyster knives is not as big as you would think.
Seems like he could sell the patent to Williams sonoma or something.

The patent lapsed. Patent law changed, requiring periodic payments to keep your patent in force. Unfortunately, my buddy's lawyer died, so there was nobody to tell him he needed to start making the payments.
He had talked to Dexter-Russell (maker of the ubiquitous white plastic-handled knife), but they weren't too interested. He bought his blades from them.
