Abstract: A knife and chopping attachment assembly for chopping food products comprises a knife and a chopping attachment. The knife has a blade portion and a handle portion. The blade portion has a cutting edge and a spine disposed on a top side of the blade portion generally opposite the cutting edge. The chopping attachment is disposed over a portion of the spine of the knife. The chopping attachment is movable along the spine from a proximal end of the blade portion to a distal end of the blade portion.

Abstract: A knife for cutting food products comprises a blade portion, a handle portion, and a bolster. The blade portion has a cutting edge and a spine. The spine is disposed on a top side of the blade portion. The bolster has at least a first thickness and is positioned between the blade portion and the handle portion. The bolster comprises a first generally curved-shape proximal boundary and a second generally curved-shaped distal boundary. The bolster has a first lateral sidewall and a second lateral sidewall. A surface depression is disposed between the first generally curved-shape proximal boundary and the second generally curved-shape distal boundary of at least one of the first lateral sidewall and the second lateral sidewall. The first generally curved-shape proximal boundary is spaced a distance from the second generally curved-shape distal boundary to receive a thumb of a user on the bolster.

Abstract: A storage apparatus is disclosed. The storage apparatus comprises a mounting mechanism, a hoist system and a storage member. The hoist system, which is attached to the mounting mechanism, comprises at least one pulley. A hoist wire is disposed within each of the at least one pulleys. A hoist wire mount receives a first end of each of the hoist wires and also includes a power source. Finally, the storage member is affixed to a second end of each of the hoist wires.

Abstract: A rotary food cutting device is provided. The rotary food cutting device comprises a handle assembly and a removable blade assembly. The removable blade assembly has a blade, a first blade mounting member, and a second blade mounting member. The blade is positioned between the first blade mounting member and the second blade mounting member. The first blade mounting member and the second blade mounting member interact with the handle assembly to removably secure the blade.
