R. MURPHY COMPANY LAUNCHES NEW LINE OF SHELLFISH KNIVES
160-Year-Old Leading Maker of Knives Expands Product Offerings
for Commercial and Consumer Markets
AYER, MA. (July 7, 2011) - R. Murphy Company, Inc., maker of premier knives for a wide range of applications, including commercial- and consumer-grade shellfish, fishing, hunting, boating and myriad industrial markets, is introducing a new line of shellfish knives.
Recognized as industry leaders in this market segment, R. Murphy shellfish knives are unsurpassed in quality and diversity. The blades are constructed from high carbon stainless steel and are uniformly hardened and taper ground. Many styles are offered for various bivalve shell forms to meet the needs of consumers throughout the United States and beyond, a fact illustrated by the eight unique oyster knives, two scallop knives and three clam knives included in the collection.
The new line also features food-grade polypropylene "Murphy Green" plastic handles - most of which are curved and ergonomically designed - to ensure safety and comfort. All are suitable for the professional fisherman as well as for use in commercial and residential environments.
“With the launch of our new line of shellfish knives, R. Murphy continues to build upon our century-old success in this market,” said Mark Furman, president of R. Murphy Co., Inc. “These knives address both commercial and residential needs, and are specifically designed to meet the diverse requirements within various regions of the country.”
Each R. Murphy knife is made according to a ten-step hands-on manufacturing process. Multiple quality control inspections ensure the sharpest, most durable blade possible. “Others that produce knives at higher production volumes are unable to match the attention to detail that can be found in R. Murphy knives,” said Furman.
