ABSTRACT:
A knife comprises an elongated handle, a blade attached to and extending longitudinally from an end of the handle, and a shell-slitting tine attached to the blade adjacent a tip portion of the blade. A first longitudinal edge of the blade is generally blunt and a second edge of the blade is specifically configured for severing objects. A slot extends between the shell-slitting tine and the blade from a tip end of the blade toward the handle. The slot extends generally parallel with a centerline reference axis of the blade and is positioned between the centerline reference axis of the blade and the first one of said longitudinal edges. At least a portion of an edge of the shell-slitting tine defined by the slot is sharpened and the tip end of the shell-slitting tine is substantially even with the tip end of the blade.
