A tendon extraction device is disclosed. The device may include a gripping portion and an extracting portion. The gripping portion may be configured, in accordance with some embodiments, to securely grip a tendon of a piece or cut of raw meat. The extracting portion may be configured, in accordance with some embodiments, to extract (e.g., by cutting or stripping away) the tendon from the raw meat. Thus, a user may use the device to remove tendon(s) prior to cooking the meat in an easy and efficient manner. In some embodiments, the gripping portion and the extracting portion optionally may be configured to interface with one another (e.g., for ease of storage and retrieval). To that end, the gripping portion and the extracting portion may be interfaced via a snap-fit connection, in accordance with some embodiments.

A handheld tool for the removal of a tendon from a chicken tenderloin. The handheld tool comprises a handle and an integrated shaft that connects to the handle on one end and tapers from the handle to a stripping cylinder on the other end. The stripping cylinder is useful for stripping a tendon from the chicken tenderloin by a user. The free end of the chicken tendon is inserted through the fore end of the stripping cylinder. Once the tendon is passed through, the user's free hand is used to grasp the tendon. Once a secure grip is established, the tool is advanced away from the user while simultaneously pulling the tendon toward the user with the other hand as the tool strips the tendon free. The user of the tool is able to strip the tendon from the tenderloin quickly and efficiently by using this handheld tool.

A tendon removing tool includes a handle and a blade. The blade includes a proximal end extending from the handle and a head at a distal end. The head includes a front edge and a U-shaped inner edge defining a U-shaped slot. The U-shaped inner edger includes inner side edges joined by an inner bend. The inner side edges define a gap at the front edge leading into the U-shaped slot.

A meat-attached matter removal device includes a pair of gripping arms, an arm driving unit, and a circular blade body. The pair of gripping arms grip a base of an attached matter, which is attached to a chicken thigh meat, from both sides and raises the attached matter from the chicken thigh meat. The arm driving unit drives the pair of gripping arms. The circular blade body passes over the pair of gripping arms to cut the attached matter raised by the pair of gripping arms from the base of the attached matter.
