A method of renewing a cutting edge on a knife used in a corn cutting machine includes providing a planar knife blade with an oblique cutting edge, positioning the blade longitudinally with respect to, and at an angle to, an oncoming ear of corn and then, flexing the blade transversely to cause it to conform to a desired cutting profile, while also stiffening the blade in the direction of the oncoming ear of corn. A preferred knife blade holder and replaceable blade are also disclosed.

A method and apparatus for removing the skin or casing of a sausage involves feeding the sausage through skewed feed rollers to cause the body to move both longitudinally and rotationally, cutting the casing on a nose portion of the sausage, positively gripping the knot or tuft on the forward end of the sausage with a pair of peeling rollers, moving the peeling rollers to a position tangent to the sausage feed path and then pulling the tuft and an attached portion of the casing through the peeling rollers and radially outward from the body to unwrap the casing in a helical pattern as the body is fed past the peeling mechanism.
