Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12681 Loc: Central Florida	In my opinion, the Fireman is bit "stout" and bulky for the job. It'll definitely "shuck"...not "suck" if tasked with the job though! Stay Sharp, Capt.

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12681 Loc: Central Florida	I would "flat-grind" the sharpened portioned of the Small Gambler, prior to use...

Chief Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 5413 Loc: Baton Rouge, Louisiana	It would probably work great. The finger grips and flat handle would be a plus. It's best to get the gloves that are made for doing it & a clamp or holder if you are a beginner. _________________________ See Ya, Chief RKCC CM-037 RKS #5154 If you put off following The LORD just remember......They don't serve breakfast in hell!

I ordered one of the ironwood handled oyster knives from Grant. The Wadden Sea next to Denmark is full off oysters. Great oyster harvesting at low tide. My oldest son really likes oystering with his original Behring oyster knife, but he wants one with a bigger handle. Alan _________________________ Alan Grombacher RKCC-CMI-010 RKS#5531
