Abstract
An apparatus for tenderizing meat having a plurality of knives each comprising an elongated blade including structure for reciprocating the knives to project and withdraw the cutting edge ends of the knives into and from the meat in order to sever fibers therein. The apparatus also has a blade stabilizer through which the blades extend engaging the blades intermediate their ends for supporting the blades against lateral bending which would tend to damage the blades. The apparatus also includes structure for retracting the stabilizer member relative to the blades during the final completion of the penetrating so as not to restrict the penetrating.
