ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for automatically scoring the hock portion of a poultry leg to sever the surrounding skin and soft connective tissues from the underlying bone which is characterized by employing oppositely directed water knives aligned at a right angle to the linear path of travel of a vertically disposed poultry leg to effect a complete circumferential cut about the periphery of the hock area in a single pass through the water knives. The water knives are formed by a plurality of water jets or streams emitted from a horizontally disposed manifold mounted within a protective housing to contain the spray of water created and direct the waste water to a collection area.
