Abstract: An improved clam shovel for digging razor clams includes a dished shovel blade attached to the lower end of a shovel shaft having a handle at its opposite end. The upper side of the shovel blade is transversely and longitudinally concave. The blade is longitudinally slotted inwardly from the center of its free cutting edge to about mid-length to define a pair of broad laterally spaced tines. The slot tapers inwardly from the blade cutting edge so that its inner closed end is narrower than its outer open end and so that the slot resembles a wedge blocked off and rounded at its narrow end.
