  • Patent number: 5428898
    Abstract: The present pizza cutter of a unique design has a circular blade mounted in a fork on the forward end of an arch-shaped frame. The intermediate portion of the frame is a handle for holding the pizza cutter. The arched shape of the handle prevents the hand from contacting the pizza during cutting. The handle has a thumb guide for applying pressure to cut the pizza, a thumb guard for preventing the thumb from contacting the blade, and a fender to protect the hand from contacting the blade. The rearward end of the frame is a support for supporting the pizza cutter in a vertical position on a horizontal surface when not in use. The blade is attached to the frame by a hub between the tines of the fork, thereby preventing the blade from wobbling during cutting. The pizza cutter also has a stand adapted to receive the blade and support.
