  • Combination knife, turning hook and bottle de-capper, with animal shape
    Patent number: 6598297
    Abstract: A combination food preparation and handling tool comprises a handled main blade body, a turning hook, and a pair of legs protruding from the main blade body. In the preferred embodiment, the turning hook is integrally formed from an extended and pointed tip of the main blade body formed into the desired shape and bent at an angle to the main blade body. One edge of the main blade body is preferably arcuate in shape and sharpened to form a primary cutting edge. The legs can form a bottle de-capper and a secondary cutting edge. The preferred arrangement of the main blade body, the turning hook and the legs forms a likeness of a legged animal, such as an alligator. Further enhancement of the animal appearance may be had through etchings or engravings on the main blade body to represent other features of the animal.
