TitlePoultry Cutting Knife
CreatorAuguste Lebeuf (Manufacturer)
DescriptionKnife with shear type handles. The main blade is fairly straight with a curved pointed tip. At the top of the main blade is a smaller blade with a shear type cutter which is operated by squeezing the handles. These are unlocked via a latch at the end of the handles. The original box is present but is in very poor condition and completely broken. The lid reads 'Auguste Lebeuf, fabricant a Nogent-en-Bassigny, Haute-Marne, Maisons a nogent-contrexeville vighy.'
The large blade is used to cut fillets, while the small blade serves the same function as a pair of scissors for cutting cartilage.
