ABSTRACT:
A bird is gripped by its thighs adjacent the vent hole and is shifted toward a knife until the hole has reached a predetermined location that corresponds to a certain depth of insertion of the knife into the hole. Since location of the hole is being used as the determining factor with respect to depth of knife insertion, the knife always enters to the same extent regardless of the length of the bird. Operation of the knife once fully inserted causes the skin to be slit between the hole and the keel bone, thus making an enlarged opening to the body cavity.
