ABSTRACT:
A knife is carried in a protective holder that permits only limited exposure of the cutting edge. Initially, the knife swings through an arc with its cutting edge trailing as the bird is simultaneously swung in a direction to cause a previously prepared hole at the vent of the bird to intersect and receive the knife during the latter's movement. With the knife thus inserted into the hole, the bird is then held against further movement with the knife and the latter is suddenly flipped outwardly and upwardly so as to slit the skin between the hole and the keel bone, thereby preparing an enlarged opening to the body cavity that will permit the subsequent entry of an eviscerating tool.
