Every great seafood feast begins with the right tool, and the Dexter Russell Sani-Safe 4” Boston Oyster Knife is the perfect companion for anyone who takes pride in doing things the right way. Crafted for comfort, control, and reliability, this American-made classic delivers professional-grade performance straight from the country that knows seafood best. Whether you’re opening a dozen oysters on a Friday night or prepping for a coastal cookout, this knife brings durability and precision to every shuck.
The plain 4” Dexsteel oyster blade is designed to handle even the toughest shells with ease. Made from high-carbon, high-alloy stainless steel, it’s engineered for maximum sharpness, stain resistance, and strength. The signature Boston pattern blade tapers to a fine, sturdy point that slips cleanly between the shell without chipping or bending. That means less effort, less risk of breaking, and more time enjoying the reward. It’s a blade that performs with the steady confidence you’d expect from Dexter Russell, the brand trusted by seafood professionals and home cooks alike.
Supporting that blade is a white recycled plastic Sani-Safe handle that’s as practical as it is comfortable. Molded for a secure, slip-resistant grip, it stays steady even when things get wet, letting you work quickly and safely. Its hidden tang construction ensures the knife remains balanced and durable, providing long-lasting strength through years of use. Easy to clean and NSF certified, the Sani-Safe handle also resists the absorption of oils, bacteria, and odors, keeping your kitchen tools as fresh as the catch of the day.
Measuring 6.87” overall and weighing just 2.6 ounces, this oyster knife has the ideal balance of lightness and power. It’s compact enough for controlled precision but solid enough to handle larger shells without flexing. Every detail, from the ergonomic contour of the handle to the angle of the tip, reflects Dexter Russell’s century-plus commitment to quality American craftsmanship. Proudly made in the USA, this knife represents the tradition and innovation that have made the company a legend among chefs and seafood lovers.
Whether you’re building your kitchen collection or looking for the perfect gift for the coastal cook in your life, the Dexter Russell Sani-Safe 4” Boston Oyster Knife delivers dependable, professional performance in a simple, hardworking design. It’s more than a knife—it’s a trusted tool that turns the task of shucking into a satisfying art.
