3.5″ Clam Knife Manufacturing Process

Material sourcing

Select food-grade stainless steel sheets for blades and high-strength ABS granules for handles. All materials are sourced from certified suppliers to ensure traceability and compliance with food-contact safety standards.

Blanking & shaping

Cut stainless steel sheets into 3.5-inch blanks using precision stamping or laser cutting. Profile the short, thick blade to its designed outline, ensuring uniform dimensions for efficient assembly.

Heat treatment

Harden and temper the blade under controlled temperature cycles to achieve the required strength and rigidity. This process ensures the blade can resist bending or deformation during clam shucking.

Grinding & polishing

Grind both sides of the blade to achieve the correct edge geometry. The surface is then polished to remove burrs and improve corrosion resistance, producing a smooth and hygienic finish.

Handle molding & fitting

Injection-mold ABS handles. After cooling, each handle is trimmed and checked for dimensional accuracy. The stainless blade tang is then fitted and securely bonded into the handle using industrial-grade epoxy.

Finger guard integration

The large protective bolster section is molded as part of the handle. Each knife is checked to confirm proper alignment and secure bonding between guard and blade.

Edge finishing & inspection

Hone the blade tip to a strong, blunt point suitable for prying shells. Conduct edge uniformity and tip strength checks to ensure consistency across batches.

Quality inspection & testing

Perform visual checks for surface finish and handle color accuracy. Conduct corrosion-resistance spot tests and mechanical pull tests on blade-to-handle joints. Random samples are tested for shucking performance and safety.

Packaging & shipment

After cleaning and drying, each knife is packed in individual clam packages or OEM-specified boxes. Products are labeled, palletized, and prepared for export according to customer requirements.
