A recip blade has a blade body including a cutting edge and a tang located at one end of the blade body. The tang defines an arcuate cross-sectional shape or is laminated to increase the overall thickness of the tang and, in turn, enhance the rigidity of the blade and/or reduce oscillation or whipping of the blade during cutting.

The present invention is an attachable rolling plate assembly which can be attached as a single unit to a portable cutting tool to facilitate the safe rolling movement of the portable cutting tool on the workpiece. The invention comprises a frame assembly formed from a single piece of molded material such as fiber enriched plastic having a pair of oppositely disposed longitudinal sidewalls with stabilizer ribs extending therefrom, and a flat base portion having and opening through which a saw of a power saw extends. The plate has front and rear fastening members to retain a plate of a power cutting saw onto the rolling plate assembly. The invention also includes a cutting guide assembly to facilitate a straight cut, reduce torsional rotation of the saw blade and reduce kickback of the saw.

A cutting tool for cutting brush, foliage, or branches in a swinging and pivotal cutting action includes a continuous elongated body having a handle at a first end, and at an opposing second end a cutting blade with a lower cutting edge, and a connecting part therebetween. The handle includes at least a first bulbous portion allowing the user to hold to form a pivot and by arm movement effect a swinging and pivotal cutting action.

A Hand Tool for Removing Nopal-Cactus Thorns is similar in shape to a spoon. This hand tool has a Hole shaped as a polygonal star in its head with a narrow area surrounding that hole for removing the skin and the superficial Thorns of the Nopal Petal by repeatedly rubbing the utensil against the surface of the Petal in a longitudinal fashion, without need of sharpening the edge of the Hole. A Secondary Hole for removing the hardest Thorns and those in the edges and corners of the Nopal Petals and a Corner Blade for cutting it in small squares or small stripes are also present in the tool.

A multifunctional cutter includes a body and a blade received by the body. The body has an end surface. The end surface extends on a reference plane. The blade has a cutting edge including a first cutting edge portion and a second cutting edge portion. The blade in a use position includes the first and the second cutting edge portions disposed outside of the body. The first cutting edge portion extends arcuately and is concave. The second cutting edge portion extends linearly and is straight. The first cutting edge portion has an end point adjacent to the second cutting edge portion. A tangent line to first the cutting edge portion at the end point intersects with the reference plane. The tangent line and the reference plane defines a first included angle which is less than 90 degrees.

A tool, and a method using the tool, for skinning game animals. Specifically, the tool relates to a curved blade knife, sharpened on the curved, top edge, and possessing a spherical or non-spherical structure at the tip. The tool is used by forming a cut through the soft skin of a game animal, inserting the spherical or non-spherical structure through the cut, and pushing or pulling the blade such that the sharpened curved, top edge cuts through the skin and connective tissue. This tool and method takes advantage of the fact that the spherical or non-spherical structure at the tip of the blade is retained inside the skin and connective tissue of the game animal and the blade is automatically properly positioned to cut the skin of the game animal.
