1752 J. Hill Gen. Nat. Hist. III. 170 The large, brown, common Solen, called the Razor-shell and Sheath-shell.

1785 H. Swinburne Trav. in Two Sicilies II. 10 They walk up to their chins in the sea backwards and forwards,..moving their feet sideways along the sand till they feel the sharp edge of a razor shell.

1794 in Coll. Mass. Hist. Soc. (1810) 1st Ser. III. 199 The shores and marshes afford large and small clams, quahaugs, razor shells,..and cockles.

1856 P. Thompson Hist. & Antiq. Boston xiv. 681 Upon the sands in Boston Deeps are found great numbers of solens, or razor-shells... In many places..[they] are regarded as being much superior to the cockle in flavour.

1869 J. G. Wood Comm. Shells of Sea-shore (ed. 3) 31 That curious family which are appropriately termed Razor-shells, because, when perfect, the shell looks something like the handle of a closed razor.

1928 F. S. Russell & C. M. Yonge Seas ii. 38 The long razor-shells (Solen) may occasionally be dug at low tide.

1991 R. Goldring Fossils in Field ii. 32 The live fauna includes deeply burrowing razor shells.
