Abstract:
A skinning blade assembly comprising:a clamp with top, two sides, two ends, and a bottom; an elongated blade with a cutting forward edge, a back edge, and two ends; a freely open tool insertion slot that extends from the top of the clamp to the bottom of the clamp; and a horizontal blade receiving recess being formed in the bottom of the clamp adjacent a forward edge thereof for receiving the blade such that the back edge of the blade is in only partial communication with the tool insertion slot, so that an elongated tool can be inserted into the tool insertion slot so that a lower end of the tool can engage a rear edge of the blade while an upper portion of the tool can engage a rearward edge of the tool insertion slot so that the tool can be moved to exert leverage against the back edge of the blade to slide the blade forwardly out of the blade receiving recess.
