Anyone working with fish regularly will be all too aware of the variety of knives required to do specific tasks. When dealing with shellfish, a dedicated oyster knife can accomplish the job of opening a clamshell without damaging the seafood inside. Dexter Russell's 3" New Haven Oyster Knife (S1712) has a sturdy beech handle, making use very straightforward, while the blade itself is shaped specifically for the job of opening a oystershell quickly and effectively. The blade is crafted from top quality stainless high-carbon steel. This blade is straight and slightly rounded at the end, ideal for prying open oyster shells.
