CLAM KNIFE 9cm 3-606-09-101 – Victory Tuatua Clam Knife

The CLAM KNIFE 9cm 3-606-09-101 is a purpose-built tool designed for shellfish lovers who want effortless, precise shucking. With a 9 cm blade, you get just the right reach to handle a range of clam sizes while maintaining tight control to minimize waste and maximize meat yield. This isn’t a generic kitchen knife—it’s a targeted solution for clean, efficient shellfish prep in home kitchens or professional settings.

Designed for precision, built for longevity The blade is a single-piece stainless design, 9 cm long, engineered to slip into the hinge and trace along the interior of the shell without tearing delicate flesh. The narrow, tapered edge helps you release meat safely and consistently, even in tight shells. The blade’s flat grind and high polish reduce friction and make cleanup easier, while the handle is shaped for a secure, comfortable grip during quick weeknight shucking or high-volume service.

Ergonomics that matter in busy kitchens The white handle (code 101) is engineered for grip and control, with a built-in safety finger guard and a seamless joint with the blade to prevent bacteria traps and improve hygiene. The design balances reach and leverage so you can extract meat with minimal shell fragments and consistent results, even as you move through multiple clams in a row. This is reinforced by Victory Knives’ long-standing NZ-making tradition and focus on durable, corrosion-resistant tools.

What makes this clam knife stand out

• 9 cm blade length with a narrow, beveled edge for easy hinge entry and precise meat release.
• One-piece, stainless (non-stain) blade for strength and hygiene in wet, salty environments.
• Full constant taper and flat grind with a high-polish finish to minimize sticking and simplify cleanup.
• Ergonomic white handle (101) with a safety finger guard for confident control during every shuck.
• No gap at the blade–handle joint to improve hygiene and reduce pinch points during extended use.
• Traceable serial number on select batches for quality assurance and provenance.
• Made in New Zealand with a heritage of reliability and performance in shellfish processing.

Care and reliability you can count on After use, simply rinse and dry the knife to preserve the edge and shape for future shucking sessions. With proper care, the CLAM KNIFE 9cm remains a dependable ally through busy seafood nights, menu prep, or professional service.

Who will value this knife It’s perfectly suited for home cooks who love seafood, chefs expanding shellfish offerings on menus, and any kitchen where quick, precise clamming makes a difference. If you regularly prepare clams for pasta dishes like linguine alle vongole, chowders, or seafood platters, this knife provides the exact balance of reach and control you need to maximize yield with minimal waste. Victory Knives’ NZ-made lineage adds confidence for buyers who seek a trusted, durable tool built to endure in demanding environments.

Why choose this over alternative shellfish tools Unlike multipurpose knives, this clam knife is deliberately shaped for the hinge and interior shell geometry, enabling cleaner meat extraction with fewer shell fragments. The 9 cm blade is a sweet spot—long enough to access larger clams, short enough to maintain precision in smaller shells. And because it’s part of the Victory Knives line, you’re choosing a historically reliable NZ-made brand known for corrosion resistance and durable edge retention.
