I got a Hard Woodie for a Big Clam

[Latimeria]

Long story - short.

Half my life ago when I was working on the fishing boats, I used Dexter hard wood handle fillet knives that were really only available to commercial guys back then from what I could remember.  I also used to shuck 100 bushels of clams every 2 weeks for bait on the boat and had an awesome Dexter Hard Wood clam knife that made the work so easy.

I have a bunch of big clams at home purging and ready to be shucked and wanted to find a good knife.  I found the Knife Merchant online and realized it was pretty close to my work and VERY reasonably priced.  https://www.knifemerchant.com/

Super attractive girl greeted me and when I told her the clam knife I was looking for, she was like "Here you go"... That was it!  I asked her about the fillet knife and she was like "Here you go".... BAM!  Mind blown and happier than a clam!



The packaging has come light years from the plain cardboard sheath it would come in, but I couldn't be happier!  Time to Shuck some big, wet clam!

Bear in mind those aren't stainless but carbon steel.

Dave at the Knife Merchant is awesome. Many people want my F d!ck honing rods so I am always sending them to him since that is where I got them.

Hands down the best kitchen knife store in SD.

I didn't want a stainless one. It's more of a nostalgia thing and I'm really really good with this knife. I'm not kidding when I say that Tens of thousands of fish will know and attest to. It also sharpens So cleanly.
