Does anyone know where to find a pin feather knife or a lung remover tool for a decent price? McMurray must be insane if they think I'm paying $30!!

cornerstone farm is where I got mine. $13 for a pinning knife and $19.50 for the lung remover. Good customer service, also! www.chickenpickers.com

never heard of a lung remover do you really need one?

 

[jaku]

Darn! I just ordered from them last week!




No, you don't really need it, but it helps.

Those lung removers remind me of our grapefruit knives.

I find it seriously gross to scrape the lungs out with my fingers, so for me, yep! Absolutely neccessary!

I wonder who invented the "lung scraper"??? Is it patented?

I use a pair of 8" hemostats I picked up at Harbor Freight. Don't remember what I paid but it wasn't much.

I used a fork last time..
But found a set of "salad tongs" at the dollar store since then, that have the rough edge that I was able to bend into shape.

I use a cheap fish scaller, and one of those fruit ball makers.

I think to together they may have cost $5.
