Description
The R. Murphy New Haven is the benchmark oyster knife for east coast shuckers, featuring a wide, beveled blade that pries shells open with minimal effort. The sycamore handle is contoured to sit securely in a wet palm. Hand-ground in Massachusetts since 1850.
East Coast Ritual
A dozen Wellfleets on a bed of rock salt, lemon wedges glistening—the wide blade pops each hinge in a single confident twist.
From raw bar to backyard clambake, this is the shucker’s trusted companion.
Massachusetts Steel
R. Murphy has hand-ground blades in Ayer, Massachusetts for over 170 years, supplying professional shuckers from Maine to the Chesapeake.
The sycamore handle is kiln-dried and sealed to resist the salt and brine of a working raw bar.
Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
