ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an assembly of a slicing knife, support board and a holding strap cooperatively arranged for slicing a mass of foods, such as a loaf of bread, into slices of equal thickness. The support board includes a bottom having an upwardly-extending abutment wall at one end and upwardly-extending lateral guides adjacent said abutment wall, each guide having a knife blade-receiving guide slot spaced forwardly of the abutment wall a distance corresponding to the thickness of the slices to be obtained. The guide slots are in transverse registry. The holding strap forms a loop upwardly extending from the bottom and is engageable around the loaf of bread to prevent its deformation during the slicing operation. The knife includes a blade held under tension by a bow frame. The knife blade is co-axial with the knife handle to prevent twisting of the blade during slicing. The bottom of the handle is upwardly shifted relative to the lower edge of the blade to prevent the user's fingers from touching the table or counter surface at the end of the slicing operation. The handle may be secured to either end of the bow frame for use by left-handed as well as right-handed users. The support board is also arranged for both types of users. A special knife handle is provided for users in wheel-chairs.
