The Dexter S17PCP clam knife has a 3-inch, two-sided blade. The sharp edge pries the clam open, while the dull side of the edge allows users to push through the clam without cutting their hands. Removing the muscle from the clam is simple since the rounded tip of the blade is designed to aid in scooping. The DEXSTEEL™ high-carbon steel used to construct the blade makes it durable and resistant to stains. The 3³⁄₄-inch beech wood handle gives the Dexter S17PCP clam knife a classic look and feel.
