Abstract: An implement for mincing, for example, garlic having a pair of members pivotable about a common axis. Each member has a handle portion with a protruding inner end portion adapted to abut against each other when the members are brought together, and another portion on the other side of the pivot provided with a plurality of blade-like members which interleave with a similar set of blade-like members on the other pivotable member for grasping, and shearing through a work-piece such as a clove of garlic. The ends of the members with the blade-like portions are notched at their ends remote from the pivot for aiding the grasping and holding of the work-piece between the blade-like members. Each of the pivotable members is constructed to be completely interchangeable with the other.
