Tenderizing knife
View Patent ↗A tenderizing knife for use in tenderizing meat, such as steak or poultry and the like. The knife includes an elongated cutting blade having a handle on a proximal end thereof. A first edge of the cutting blade is serrated, while the second edge of the cutting blade is blunt. The first edge comprises a square serration pattern, wherein the square shaped serrations are spaced at a fixed interval and help to allow the user to tenderize the meat rather than cut therethrough. The distal end of the cutting blade includes a smooth edge for use in cutting through the meat in the traditional fashion. In operation, the user can make a series of small cuts across the meat using the serrated edge in order to tenderize the meat prior to cooking.

a cutting blade having a first edge;
wherein said first edge comprises a plurality of square shaped serrations;
the plurality of square shaped serrations comprising a front surface and a rear surface, wherein the front surface tapers towards the rear surface such that the rear surface is linear and extends perpendicular to a second edge of the cutting blade.
2. The tenderizing knife of claim 1 , wherein said second edge of the cutting blade that is blunt.
3. The tenderizing knife of claim 1 , wherein said cutting blade comprises a proximal end having a handle thereon.
4. The tenderizing knife of claim 1 , wherein said cutting blade comprises a distal end that forms a sharpened tip.
5. The tenderizing knife of claim 1 , wherein said first edge of said cutting blade further comprises a smooth portion on a distal end thereof.
6. The tenderizing knife of claim 1 , wherein said square shaped serrations are spaced at a fixed interval.
7. The tenderizing knife of claim 6 , wherein said square shaped serrations taper towards a point along said first edge of said cutting blade.
8. The tenderizing knife of claim 1 , wherein all of said square shaped serrations comprise corners that are beveled.
9. A tenderizing knife, comprising:
a cutting blade having a proximal end, a distal end, a first edge, and a second edge;
