Abstract
Disclosed are apparatus including novel workman's tool for removing hides, select cuts of meat, and generally carving away from animal carcasses relative large portions in cleanly cutaway non-comminuted condition. The apparatus, manually wieldable workman's tool, is deftly employable in a manner analagous to a conventional honed butcherman's knife; however, the knife-like shank of the tool includes tiny orifices emitting compressed air jets of sufficiently high intensity to carve the animal carcass. The emitted air jets to effect carving are made relatively free of solid particles and excessive moisture thereby maintaining the integrity of the air jets and the cleanly cutaway noncomminuted condition of the removed carcass portions.
