Abstract:
1. A cutting tool comprising: an elongate handle having a first end and a second end; and an elongate blade connected to the second end of said elongate handle and comprising a substantially linear proximal portion extending longitudinally outwardly from the second end of said handle and having a sharpened lower edge and an upper edge, said linear proximal portion being defined by upper distal and proximal end points along the upper edge, and lower distal and proximal end points along the sharpened lower edge, a curved distal portion extending in a downward and forward curve and ending in a tapered tip and having sharpened upper and lower edges, said curved distal portion being defined by an upper proximal end point along the sharpened upper edge, a lower proximal end point along the sharpened lower edge, and the tapered tip, said curved distal portion being in contact with said linear proximal portion at an intersection point defined by the lower distal end point on said linear proximal portion and the lower proximal end point on said curved distal portion, said linear proximal portion having a linear length measured from the second end of said handle to an imaginary line extending through the upper distal end point on said linear proximal portion and the intersection point, said curved distal portion having a linear length measured from an imaginary line tangent to the tapered tip to an imaginary line extending through the upper proximal end point on said curved distal portion and the intersection point, said linear proximal portion and said curved distal portion having a substantially equal linear length, and a medial portion defined by the intersection point, the imaginary line extending through the upper distal end point on said linear proximal portion and the intersection point, and the imaginary line extending through the upper proximal end point on said curved distal portion and the intersection point, said medial portion having a substantially triangular shape.
