Product Description

A mollusk can be pretty darn stubborn, which is why an everyday bread knife simply won't do for opening a clam. This tool has a cushy, over-sized non-slip handle to make opening the shell easier and safer.

Amazon.com Review
In one easy motion, the sharp, durable stainless-steel blade of this clam knife separates the meat from the shell. The oversize, comfortable rubber handle will fit any palm and absorbs pressure from the hands, so you can concentrate on keeping a firm grasp on the clamshell instead. It's the best tool to have handy at your next clambake.

The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

clam knife of the gods
I'm a bit of a cooking geek, so I had bought the New Cooks Catalog at Barnes & Nobel. They suggested this knife for clams, and, I had a couple, but, I have clambakes every so often so I can always use an extra. And now I'm looking at the catalog and realizing the main reason I bought it was I liked the picture. But the truth is, this knife is MUCH better than the other ones I have, no contest. It's got great grip and is really quick-when you have a bunch of people over and there's some knife-sharing going on, that's especially helpful. It's so easy to use ... well, I don't want to recommend a baby using it, but I think a baby COULD use it if no one else was around to open the clams. I think that would be a good ad for Oxo ... there's a baby, and... no, maybe not.

I'VE USED THE CLAM KNIFE TWICE. I WASN'T ABLE TO OPEN ALL OF MY CLAMS. I WISH THE END WAS A LITTLE THINNER.
