R. Murphy 3-inch Produce Knife, Orange Handle
A bright orange handle is easy to find in a produce cooler or a muddy row, which is the point of the R. Murphy 3-inch produce knife with an orange handle. Grocers and farms use it to trim and split produce, and the color keeps it from disappearing into the trimmings.Its 3-inch straight-edged blade ends in a blunt point. On the sales floor, it cuts away bruised leaves and blemishes and splits fruit to check ripeness without spearing anything behind it. On a farm, it is a handy size for cutting herbs, greens and small heads at harvest. A built-in guard at the front of the handle keeps the hand behind the edge, and the slip-resistant handle grips well with wet or gloved hands.For the carbon steel version of this knife, see the 3-inch black-handled produce knife. For larger produce and a longer cut, the 4-inch produce knife has an extra inch of stainless blade and a green handle. Learn More$27.15 -
R. Murphy Duxbury 2.125-inch Oyster Knife, ECOgrip Handle
R. Murphy developed the Duxbury with the oystermen at Island Creek Oysters in Duxbury, Massachusetts. According to Edible Boston’s history of the company, the farm’s crew kept breaking the tips of their New Haven knives, so R. Murphy redesigned the blade with a stronger tip and named the result after the town.The blade is short, 2.125 inches, with a sharp, pointed tip that eases into the hinge with little force. A short blade keeps your hand close to the work and gives good control on small oysters and fast, repetitive shucking. The handle is R. Murphy’s ECOgrip, shaped to fit the hand and molded from recycled polypropylene in “Murphy Green,” so it can be cleaned and sanitized at a raw bar or on a farm.Customers ask us which knife suits which oyster. A pointed knife like this works well when the hinge is tight. If you prefer to lever the shell open with a curved tip, the New Haven shucker has a longer blade on the same handle material, and the Olympia shucker is ground for small, deep-cupped oysters. For a wood handle, compare the Wellfleet. Oyster knives are covered in our guide to knife shapes. Learn More$19.50 -
R. Murphy 4-inch Stainless Steel Produce Knife, Green Handle
Bigger produce calls for more blade. The R. Murphy 4-inch produce knife gives grocers and farm crews an extra inch over the 3-inch models, so a head of cabbage or a melon takes fewer strokes to cut through.Produce workers use it to trim cabbage and lettuce, cut stems and split melons and squash to check their ripeness. The blade is square at the point, so you can work close to the rest of a display or a crate without stabbing into it. Stainless steel stands up to the wet conditions of a produce room or a wash station with less upkeep than carbon steel, though it should still be dried at the end of a shift.For close trimming and splitting small fruit, the shorter 3-inch carbon steel produce knife is quick and precise. The 3-inch orange-handled produce knife adds a bright handle that is easy to find in the field. Learn More$13.95
