  • Patent number: 10525608
    Abstract: A food cutting guide for safely holding a food item and allowing for essentially uniform thickness cuts to be made through the food item has a base with a pair of opposing jaws pivotally attached to the base. Each jaw has a series of spaced apart teeth such that the jaws articulate between a closed position wherein the teeth of each jaw intermesh with one another and an open position wherein the teeth do not so intermesh. A spring mechanism holds the jaws in a normally closed position while an actuation trigger articulates the jaws to the open position against the bias of the spring mechanism. A guard plate is located at an end of the pair of jaws to protect a user's hand from errant knife travel.
