Abstract
The field dressing device of the invention is made to accept the tip of a knife blade, whose cutting surface faces in the same general direction as the tip of the field dressing device. The top portion of the tip of the field dressing device pushes the hide of the animal upwards, while the bottom portion of the tip of the field dressing device pushes the entrails downwards. The configuration of the field dressing device, together with its configured acceptance of the knife blade, permits the user's hand to be kept outside the animal while opening its stomach to remove the entrails.
