You don't "open" abalone as such, they are just like a big limpet, or a big ormer, so you approach them very carefully, quickly slide the ab iron underneath the foot and give it a quick flick which bumps him off the rock, with no damage. The base of the foot is very leathery and tough, so little risk of wounding if it's done properly.
