Our Story

Outer Cape Kitchen started with a simple goal: Create a better oyster knife.

Founded by two friends who met in high school, studied industrial design in college, and honed their craft designing professional-grade hand tools for the automotive and trade industries, we recognized the opportunity to reimagine the oyster knife. By focusing on safety, ergonomics, and versatility, we set out to create a tool that meets the needs of everyone, from home cooks to raw bar professionals.

Started in Wellfleet, MA, home of the world-famous Wellfleet Oyster, the Outer Cape has always inspired us. The rugged coastline, hardworking fishing community, and timeless charm of Cape Cod embody our values: resilience, authenticity, and a commitment to excellence. That spirit guides every product we create.

Today, we’re proud to craft tools that embody the connection between food, the sea, and the people who bring them together.
