Abstract

L'invention concerne le besoin fréquent d'un couteau lors de la chasse au gibier pour préparer les animaux capturés. Le couteau peut être typiquement utilisé pour éviscérer l'animal qui a été tué afin qu'il puisse être mangé. Dans ce but il est nécessaire que le couteau possède une lame de découpe tranchante pour pouvoir passer à travers les couches supérieures de l'épiderme pour accéder à la cavité interne de l'animal. En conséquence la présente invention porte sur un couteau de chasse comprenant un manche (4), une lame (1), (2), (3) et un crochet d'éviscération (7), (8), (9), ledit crochet d'éviscération étant disposé au niveau d'une extrémité distale dudit manche par rapport à ladite lame, la lame et le crochet étant fixés en relation l'un par rapport à l'autre et disposés avec les pièces actives en alignement.
