Abstract
In one aspect, a method of preparing a meat skinner blade is provided which includes: abrading an upper edge of a steel strip to form an angularly-offset two-facet blade edge; and, honing the two-facet blade edge of the steel strip to impart a vertical taper along the two facets of the two-facet blade edge. Advantageously, the subject invention provides a blade for meat skinning, de-membraning, and derinding having, in use, a downwardly-turned edge with vertical tapering. This provides for a robust design capable for more cuts, and, thus, longer use life, than standard meat skinner blades.

A method of preparing a meat skinner blade, the method comprising:
- abrading an upper edge of a steel strip to form an angularly-offset two-facet blade edge;
- and,
- honing the two-facet blade edge of the steel strip to impart a vertical taper along the two facets of the two-facet blade edge.
A method of preparing a meat skinner blade, the method comprising:
- grinding an upper edge of a moving steel strip to form a single-facet blade edge;
- then,
- skewing the moving steel strip;
- then,
- honing the single-facet blade edge of the moving steel strip to form a two-facet blade edge;
- and, then,
- honing the two-facet blade edge of the moving steel strip to impart a vertical taper along the two facets of the two-facet blade edge.
