Abstract
A hand-held cutting tool includes a unitary housing defining a through-extending housing opening for manual grasping of the housing, with a piercing boss plate mounted below a bottom wall of the housing to effect a piercing of an associated animal game carcass, with a cutting blade positioned at an obtuse angle between a cutting blade edge and the piercing boss plate to bend a forwardmost end portion of a cutting slot defined between the piercing boss plate and the housing bottom wall. A modification of the invention includes a blade receiving slot projecting through a rear wall of the housing and the cutting slot to permit reciprocation of the knife blade to effect a severing or sawing action of the game carcass as required.
