Claim:
A poultry deboning knife comprising: 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 more adjacent the lower edge than the upper edge; said blade having 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; and wherein said distal edge angular disposition comprises an acute angle of less than about 45°; wherein the user in gripping the handle penetrates the carcass flesh with the penetration tip and applies a leverage force with the distal end to readily effect the deboning while minimizing the prospect of cutting the user.
