Good Strong well made and balanced bivalve knife
This knife has got to be one of the best that I have had over the years.
I purposely bought this one because it looked really strong and well made.....and it is CERTAINLY ALL THAT AND MORE !!
The tip of this knife is very strong and is able to get into even the toughest clam or oyster...It really diggs in there and a few twists you in !!
It is a wonderfully made piece of equipment....machined very well.....I wonder if you can find better !!
Perfect
I bought this as a gift for my oyster loving husband and it's great! A quality knife... so well made in fact, it was difficult to get a deep engraved message into the strong steel handle!
Serious Design Flaw
I was extremely disappointed in this product. Although it is sturdy, and the blade well made, the absence of any texture on the handle makes it virtually impossible to use once the handle gets even the slightest bit wet.
The first time I used it, I brought it with me to our cooking club, where we were preparing 200 oysters Rockefeller for a charity event. It opened the first one without a problem, but once the oyster juice got on the handle it was too slippery to use. I had to resort to using one of the club's knives that has a wooden handle with a somewhat bulbous shape. No problem with that tool.
I have been able to use this knife but only after wrapping the handle in a thin sheet of rubber or plastic that's used to help get a better grip on jars.
