ABSTRACT:
A shellfish shucking machine and more specifically a bivalve opening device for safely shucking or opening bivalve shellfish such as oysters, clams and the like. The shucking machine includes a base structure, an upright support structure including a handle structure and a vertically movable knife structure which includes a thin but wide blade having a rounded and sharpened lower edge to engage the bivalve and to be forced into the seam between the two halves of the bivalve shell and then rotated or twisted about its own longitudinal axis to open the shell in a manner similar to the shucking action that is used when a conventional hand-held oyster shucking knife is used to open a bivalve shellfish. The blade is provided with a transparent guard which enables observation of the blade and provides maximum at rest protection for the user with the blade being interchangeable for use with different types of bivalve shellfish.
