ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for tipping a horn of a horned animal by removing a selected portion thereof. A positioning member having an aperture which extends between first and second side surfaces thereof is pivotally mounted to a cutting member having a cutting edge formed along a first side surface thereof. The aperture is defined by an inner side surface of the positioning member which includes a first, inwardly tapered, portion and a second, untapered, portion. When the positioning member is placed over the horn, first and second edge surfaces which define first and second boundaries of the inwardly tapered portion circumferentially bite into the horn at first and second locations, respectively. The cutting member is then pivoted towards the positioning member to sever the selected portion of the horn. The cutting member is comprised of a support member having a cut-away portion and a blade member flush mounted in the cut-away portion of the support member. A first portion of a side surface of the blade member is bevelled to provide a first surface for separating severed and unsevered portions of the horn and to form the cutting edge for the cutting member. The support member is flare-notched to expose various lengths of the bevelled and unbevelled portions of the blade member and an edge side surface of the support member which defines the notch is also bevelled to provide a second surface for further separating the severed and unsevered portions of the horn.
