A nod to that beautiful, ancient beast that exemplifies life in the southern swamps. It reminds me of my time in Southern Louisianna and growing up in Alabama and Florida. This oyster knife has all of the great features of the Original Shuckin' Spike but with a Alligator Skin twist on the handle. Makes me want some Crawfish and Gumbo! Available in "Gulf Coast Blade" which is short and stout or "East Coast Blade" which is longer and thinner. Thank You for your business!
