Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 3-inch Slim Clam Knife

Small clams close tightly, and a thick blade has trouble finding the seam. Dexter-Russell’s S127 has a slim 3-inch blade that slips into small shell openings, the knife Dexter recommends for littlenecks and tight hinges, and one it notes is popular with commercial processors. It has enough backbone to cut through the muscle and free the meat cleanly, and the textured handle stays secure through a long session at the raw bar.


Slim or Square Blade?

For cherrystones and other large clams, the broader Sani-Safe S119 Square Blade Clam Knife gives more leverage.
