Abstract: Kitchen scissors are curved and have a single or multiple blade for safer, faster and more efficient slicing of food, for example. The scissors can be used for various items, such as for cutting meat, vegetables and other food products. The curved design of the scissor blades allows a user to easily operate the scissors to cut items disposed against a horizontal surface without having to uncomfortably and unsafely twist one's wrist as would be required with conventional straight-blade scissors. The scissors can have multiple blades, spaced apart a desired “bite-sized” length, to make cutting food products even faster. The hooked tip not only improves the slicing action by lifting the food ever so slightly during cutting but such hooked tips also have the additional advantage of grabbing food with a tong effect prior to slicing.

Abstract: The cigar splitter apparatus provides a smoker of cigars with a compact, precise tool for splitting a cigar along its axis. The apparatus can be selectively latched in a closed position for safety. Further, the cutter does not extend beyond the boundary of the apparatus so that use is also safe.

Abstract: A cigar cutter has a body formed of a pair of plates having aligning orifices defining a passage for the head of a cigar to be cut. A pair of opposed cutting blades, movable toward and away from each other within the body each have a cutting edge, which cooperates with the opposing cutting edge during toward movement to cut the cigar head. Each of a pair of bridges is affixed to one of the cutting blades and moveable therewith. A spring engages the bridges and biases them toward an extended position wherein the cutting edges are moved away from each other within the body. A latch automatically engages both of the blades approximate the inward terminus of their toward movement and maintains the blades in a retracted storage position wherein the edges are not exposed. The cutting edges are each inwardly tapered to cause the edges and the cigar to cooperate to force the opposing blades together during their toward movement to automatically sharpen the blades.

Abstract: An cigar tip cutter having a plastic housing defining an internal cavity for receiving relatively slidable cutting blades includes a cigar tip receiving opening that cooperates with the cutting blades for cutting a cigar tip placed in the opening of the housing. Relative motion of the blades causes registration of the cutting edges of the blades with the cigar tip receiving opening and motion of the blades towards each other effects severing of the cigar tip. Plastic guide rails fit in plastic grooves within the housing to guide the motion of the blades and prevent separation of the blades from the plastic housing. The plastic guide rails and cooperating plastic grooves include a position holding feature that functions as a friction lock when the blades are in the collapsed position within the housing.
