DESCRIPTION

front edge knife

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

This invention generally refers to cutlery, and more particularly to knives intended to be used for slicing cured meat, especially ham or shoulder.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, there is no knowledge of the existence of any knife that is used specifically for this purpose and that has an exclusively cutting edge at the tip of the blade, although we are aware of documents that describe tools with an edge in this part. Document ES-2870048_T3 describes a butcher knife with a rounded cutting edge as well as a lateral edge that is presented as an alternative to traditional butcher knives. Document US 2002/104222 describes a knife with a short, rounded point with a front edge for removing the skin of an animal. Document JP3202296U describes a kitchen knife with a rounded blade.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention, as indicated in the title of the descriptive memory, is a front-edge knife located exclusively at the tip of the blade, having this semicircular shape, and which is specially designed to be able to separate meat of the cured ham or cured shoulder bone in a more efficient way during the hand slicing process since it avoids the lack of a lateral edge that small cuts may inadvertently be produced on this meat when trying to separate it from the bone, this especially happening in the shoulder blade bone in the case of the shoulder blade or the hip bone in the case of the ham.

By avoiding these cuts, the appearance of the slice will improve visually when it is plated or presented in vacuum-packed sachets and, on the other hand, it avoids wasting product resulting from these possible cuts.

It is also useful in cured ham and shoulder bones that have already been sliced by this or other methods and still contain remains of attached meat. With the present utility model, these remains can be separated from these and other bones more easily, thus achieving better use of the piece.

The knives available for these purposes, due to their design with the edge on one side, are less comfortable to carry out this task, since cleaning these bones is usually done with a knife and parallel to it, in this way, with With intensive use, the wrist can be fatigued by rotating and repetitive movements, which can eventually cause injuries. This problem can be avoided by placing the cutting edge at the tip as it separates perpendicularly.

One of the biggest concerns when carrying out this type of operation is that when using a knife with an edge located on the side of the blade, it can easily be lost or even a nick when scratched. on the bone to separate the meat, since due to its position, it only allows this action to be done obliquely or parallel to the bone. With this utility model, it is intended to offer an effective alternative, since it allows the meat to be separated perpendicular to it, leveraging it, so that the edge located at the tip no longer has to cut so much but rather facilitate this task. .

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented has been following:

Figure 1 is an elevation view of the knife in question.

Figure 2 is a profile view.

Figure 3 is a plan view.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As shown in the attached illustrations, it can be seen that the knife has a handle and a blade, which completely lacks a cutting edge in the two lateral parts (2) of it, having only a cutting edge in its tip(1), which has a semicircular shape. This cutting edge of the point (1) presents hollowing only on one of the two faces of the blade. This dump angle has from 5 to 60 degrees of inclination.

Claims (3)

1. - Knife with a frontal edge that has a handle and a blade characterized by the fact that it lacks a cutting edge on both sides of the blade and has only a cutting edge at the tip of said blade. 2. - Front edge knife to which claim 1 refers, whose cutting edge located at the tip of the blade, has a semicircular shape. 3.- Front edge knife to which the previous claims refer, whose cutting edge located at the tip of the blade, only presents hollowing on one of its two faces. The angle of this shell has from 5 to 60 degrees of inclination.
