ABSTRACT:
A cutting tool includes an elongate handle to be grasped by a user, and an elongate blade connected to the elongate handle. The elongate blade includes a downwardly sloping proximal portion extending outwardly from an end of the handle, and a linear distal portion extending substantially parallel to and downwardly offset from an axis defined by the elongate handle and ending in a tapered tip. The downwardly sloping proximal portion may have a sharpened lower edge, and the linear offset distal portion may have a sharpened lower edge. In some embodiments, the elongate blade may have a length of less than about twelve inches so that the cutting tool is a knife, and in other embodiments, the elongate blade may have a length of greater than about twelve inches so that the cutting tool is a sword.
