Oh, yeah, the splitting horn! It splits the gut in two. Gee--if it split it four ways, could we say it was a tetragutoctomy?Seriously, though: unless I am completely off base, the Germans invented the splitting horn in the late 1700's; isn't it marvellous that something from so long ago is still the best tool for today?
