Mike Lata of The Ordinary likes R. Murphy Oyster Knives!

We are so excited to have our oyster knives  named a favorite kitchen tool by Mike Lata, James Beard Award winning Chef, and owner of The Ordinary and FIG in Charleston, SC!

See it in Food Network Magazine - April 2013 issue on newsstands now.

     
 The Ordinary, a gorgeous oyster bar and restaurant, just opened in December 2012 and has already made the James Beard Awards Nominees list of Best New Restaurants!  Bravo and kudos to you, Mike Lata and Adam Nemirow.

Happy shuckers at The Ordinary with their R. Murphy Duxbury Oyster Knife and Little Neck Clam Knife!

America's Test Kitchen -- "Two Ways with Fish"

Listen to Christopher Kimball and Adam Reid discuss the merits of our New Haven Oyster Knife!  The testers have voted!!

About 9 minutes into the video is the Equipment Corner

R. Murphy Knives Will Be at the New England Food Show!

We are excited to be exhibiting at the New England Food Show!

This is our first time at this huge event which runs in tandem with the International Boston Seafood Show.  There is a lot going on between these two shows - chefs demonstrations, speakers, new products, oyster shucking competition, educational programs, and of course, great food, wine, beer and more.

Please stop by our table # 3000 located in the New Exhibitors section right at the entrance to the show. We will have our beautiful line of cooking, slicing and boning knives on display as well as our line of shellfish knives (oyster, crab, clam, scallop) and food processing and produce knives.  These are also on display in the New Products Showcase - #3513.

Then Chefs Collaborative first-ever Trash Fish Dinner is Sunday evening, March 10!

Right after our day of exhibiting at NEFS, we head over to Area Four (can't wait) to attend this sure-to-be delicious  event.  Calling attention to under-used varieties of fish, area chefs will prepare some great dishes with fish we've never heard of, much less eaten!  

We are extremely pleased to be a sponsor of this wonderfully unique event.  I believe it is entirely sold out, so we will report in next week to let you know how we liked dogfish!

R. Murphy Knives featured in Yankee Magazine!

We are thrilled to be included in Yankee magazine's regular feature, New England's Finest!  The current issue's topic is: "The Made-in-New England Kitchen " and as usual their two-page spread is gorgeous to look at and packed with great information about locally made functional and beautiful products.  We at R. Murphy Knives are honored to be a part of it!

                                   

Since 1850, R. Murphy Knives has been creating the right tool for every task.  We manufacture an array of professional cooking knives handcrafted from both high performing carbon steel and ease-of-maintenance stainless.  
Please check out our Chef's Select line of carbon steel kitchen knives - chefs, butcher, fillet, paring knives - with highly polished rosewood handles. Beautiful, perfectly balanced, and hand honed giving them an edge that delivers the sharpest cut time after time.

You can read it for yourself in the March/April issue of Yankee now available on newsstands.

Thank you Caroline Woodward and Michael Piazza for showing off our knives so beautifully!

Our New Haven oyster knife (at the bottom end of the magnet) was chosen as best oyster knife by America's Test Kitchen and featured in Cook's Illustrated magazine last Spring.  This episode is currently airing on PBS stations.  For those in the greater Boston area, it airs on WGBX, Channel 44 tonight, February 25 at 7:30pm.  It is also currently airing on the Providence PBS station, WSBE.  Check your local listings to view this episode titled, "Two Ways with Fish."

Since then, our Wellfleet oyster knife was featured in the Wall Street Journal and has become an overnight sensation along with our Damariscotta oyster knife - highly recommended by Rowan Jacobsen on 

The Oyster Guide, his popular blog.

A Great Oyster Knife

If you've been to a restaurant in the last, say, two years, you know oysters are one of the must-have foods of the moment. And it's easy enough to shuck them at home, provided you have the right tool. Jeremy Sewall, the chef and co-owner of Boston's Island Creek Oyster Bar, suggests the New Haven oyster knife from R. Murphy, "hands down the best option for novice and expert shuckers alike." New Haven Shucker, $14
