The things I look for in a shellfish knife are a rigid blade and a good grip. This one has both. I'm not terribly afraid of the blade snapping off if I find a particularly stubborn clam, though the tang is significantly smaller and thinner than the blade, so snapping might still be a possibility down the road. The blade is sharp enough to wiggle its way into the shell, but not so outrageously sharp that a slip would require a trip to the emergency room. Most importantly, the handle is rubberized, so even when your hands are wet you are able to maintain a decent grip on it. Probably not the greatest shellfish knife ever made, but for the price I'd take it over the OXO any day. Perfect for occasional use, but probably not for everyday employment.
