The Gerber Bone Crusher 22-41768 was designed for dressing game birds. Its hook style cutters can cut through bone and joints up to 1 inch in diameter without allowing the bone to slip. The handle has rubber overmolds that keep giving good grip even in wet conditions. The jaws are spring loaded so they open automatically unless they are purposefully held should by the locking mechanism included. To top it all off, the Gerber Bone Crusherj is dishwasher safe.
