Abstract: A fish scaling device including a base having a base axis, first and a second extension tines that extend outward from the base to first and second margins, with a first channel formed therebetween, wherein the first and second margins form an acute angle with the base axis. Also a tapered wedge blade expanding toward the base is disposed between the first and second tines, a first and a second finger that extend oppositely outward from the base and first and second tines, wherein the first and second fingers with the wedge blade form a second channel and the respective tines and fingers form first and second points. Operationally, the first and second points lift the fish scale while the first and second margins engage to the fish body, the wedge blade leading edge helps cut the scale from the fish body and the wedge drives the fish scale away.

Abstract: Method and device for cleaning fish in successive work steps with the one and the same cleaning device (10) combining a scaling member (20), a blade (40) for opening the fish's belly and an entrail removal member (30). The scaling of the fish is performed with the embossed scaling member (20) of the cleaning device, after which the blade (40) of the cleaning device is exposed and the fish's belly is opened. After that, the blade of the cleaning device is turned so that it is not exposed and the fish's entrails are removed with the spoon-like entrail removal member (30) of the cleaning device.

Abstract: A hunting multi-tool is provided with a base frame having a handle and a drag bar. A first blade is coupled with the base frame and may be moved between skinning and gutting positions. A drag line depends from the drag bar and may be secured to a cleat coupled with the base frame. Second and third blades may be pivotably extended from the handle portion and covered with a handle cover when not in use. Other useful hunting accessories may be combined in a logical fashion with the base frame and aforementioned accessories.

Abstract: An apparatus for crushing a bird's head includes a first member and a second member that are pivotally attached and which are adapted to pivot about an axis. An inner arcuate recessed area is provided on an interior side of each member intermediate a second end and a first end. The arcuate recessed area is adapted to receive a bird's head with a bill or beak of the bird extending beyond the arcuate area. A ridge or protrusion protrudes from at least one member so that it initially makes contact with the bird's head when the first and second members are urged together. This concentrates the force that is applied to the head and also prevents the bird from moving out of the apparatus. The members are then urged together and the bird's head is crushed thereby instantly killing the bird.

Abstract: A multi-use seafood utensil for opening shellfish and crustacean seafood having outer shells for the removal of meat, the utensil comprising: a head portion having a prying blade for prying a seafood shell open and a bifurcated ripping blade for cutting a seafood shell open for the removal of meat; a prying tip formed on the prying blade for insertion between shell halves of a shell of a shellfish; a slot formed in the head portion dividing the ripping blade from a part of the head portion so that the ripping blade can be inserted underneath a seafood shell to cut the shell open; a cutting edge of the ripping blade forming an edge of the slot; a handle portion carried by the head portion for being manually grasped by a user.

Abstract: A butchering tool including a handle and a bar extending from the handle. A claw is affixed to the bar remote from the handle. The claw includes a primary hook curving downwardly and rearwardly toward the bottom of the handle and a notch in the top thereof. The claw also includes a secondary hook that curves upwardly and rearwardly toward the top of the handle and that partially closes the notch.

Abstract: Apparatus for cutting through seafood shell includes a first and second elongated member. The first member includes a handle portion disposed at a first end thereof and a jaw like portion disposed at a radially opposed end. The jaw like portion includes each of a relatively pointed nose and a relatively sharp tapered portion having a plurality of serrations disposed on an upper surface which extend from the nose back toward the handle for assisting in cutting through such shell. The second member includes a handle portion disposed at a first end thereof and a jaw like portion disposed at a radially opposed end. The jaw like portion includes each of a relatively blunt arcuately shaped nose portion and a relatively wide gripping portion for cooperating with the first jaw portion in cutting through such shell of such seafood. There is a first mechanism engageable with each of the first and second members intermediate each end thereof for pivotably connecting them together.

Abstract: A squirrel skinning device and method that makes skinning and cleaning a squirrel easy and safe. The squirrel skinning device consists of two handle sections that pivot like scissors to force jaws together to hold a squirrel by the tail bone to allow easy removal of the skin and to prepare the meat for use. A user stands on a base portion with one foot and another smaller base section that is positioned above the lower base with the other foot. The user's weight provides the torque that securely holds the squirrel in the jaws while pulling upward to skin the squirrel.

Abstract: The fish pin bone remover has a handle and a blade member. The blade member is formed from a V-shaped blade blank. The blade blank has a left leg, a right leg and a bridge portion interconnecting the legs. The legs have inside edges and outside edges. The bridge portion has arcuate inside and outside edges. The bridge portion is formed to position the inside edges parallel to each other and spaced apart a selected distance. The outside edges of the legs are parallel to each other and spaced apart further than the inside edges. An outside surface of both legs and the bridge portion adjacent to the inside edges of the legs and the arcuate inside edge of the bridge is ground to form a continuous cutting edge that extends along the left inside edge the arcuate inside edge and the right inside edge.
