As a fan of the show I split myself laughing at this too. I smile every time I use the "clam shell evicerator" thinking of L. D's struggles.

Whilst we're on the subject of Death To Clamshells...I'd say this SAK Pruner is THE best just nick the tip in and it's like throat popping... But with no risk to the knife operator A great blade, wish other knives had these as a secondary.

....wish other knives had these as a secondary.

Or perhaps *only*?

Can someone enlighten me as to what the "wavy edge" is?

 

[Will Power]

Pruner blade for taking cuttings or slivers of material?

 

[joeradza]

Thanks Will Will Power but I see it in the description as the edge on some of the large blades so I’m guessing it’s some kind of hybrid between a plain and serrated edge but as to the purpose I’m stumped.

Alan, here's what I found as part of the Amazon "Product Description" for a 10.25" Vicotorinox Bread Knife with a wavy edge:
This bread knife features a wavy-edge blade. A specialty knife with a wide variety of uses, its scalloped-edge teeth can cut through harder crusts or peel without squashing tender insides. The specially designed wavy edge provides 40 percent more cutting edge in contact with the product than with a traditional plain-edge knife. The edge requires no sharpening, so is ideal for fast-food outlets, busy canteens, and restaurants. All high-quality cutlery and kitchen tools should be washed by hand for best care, and Victorinox covers each piece with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.

That too is in the league of clam shell evicerater lol. I have to agree with that as a secondary, a useful little tool.

What age would that be North Shore?
The fit and finish appear really great.

1910s I believe, or single digits. Aluminum was a precious metal at the time, stainless yet to be used in knives may or may not have been invented yet not sure

 

[screened porch]

A specialty knife with a wide variety of uses,

Almost sounds contradictory.

In my pocket as well and my daughters birth year.
But if my memory is correct... last year of production for the model 61 was 2008. But you could go back 28 years with a quick 180 degree rotation.
