Abstract:
1. A method for deboning a carcass comprising: (a) providing a set of deboning knives, each said deboning knife comprises: a handle; a blade disposed in the handle, said blade comprises a proximate end and a distal end, and upper edge and a lower edge, said lower edge comprises a cutting edge comprising a curved portion; said distal end comprises a distal edge and a penetration tip, said penetration tip being disposed downwardly and distally from the upper edge, said blade has a longitudinally disposed center line and a vertically disposed distal end line in rectilinear disposition with the center line, and said distal edge defines a line in angular disposition with the distal end line, said distal edge angular disposition comprises an acute angle of less than about 45°; and (b) piercing the flesh of the carcass with the penetration tip; whereby the carcass flesh is penetrated by the penetration tip to a sufficient depth so that an effective leverage force is generated at the distal end while minimizing the prospect of cutting the operator's flesh.
