A corn stripper includes a main body having an upper surface and a pair of opposing side surfaces defining an interior space. A blade is supported by and extends between the opposing side surfaces, the blade forming an arc between the opposing side surfaces. A cover is removably attachable to the main body, the cover enclosing the blade when the cover is attached to the main body, the cover further having an outer surface facing away from the main body when the cover is attached to the main body, the outer surface of the cover having brush attached to and extending away from the cover.

A cutting tool, such as a kitchen knife, has a handle with an outer grip surface. A blade extends from a distal end of the handle along a central axis. The blade is formed of a metal material and has opposing first and second side surfaces that converge to a cutting edge having a plurality of continuous segments separated by a series of spaced-apart channels. Each channel is formed by an interior sidewall that extends into a body portion of the blade from the first side surface to the second side surface. Each of the channels has a channel width extending in a direction along the cutting edge, and a channel depth orthogonal to the channel width. The channels are formed using a cold forging operation on the first side surface to provide localized work hardened portions of the metal material adjacent the respective channels.

A tool for insertion into a surgical saw includes a holder area for the saw and a head which is movable in oscillation by the surgical saw along a work direction where the head has a plurality of teeth which are arranged behind one another in the work direction. A first and second tooth each contains a first shaving surface for shaving off bone material oriented transversely to the work direction and a second pressing surface for pressing on bone material which pressing surface adjoins the shaving surface. The shaving surface, in relation to the work direction, is more inclined than the pressing surface. The two teeth are oriented with their shaving surface and pressing surface opposite each other so during oscillation the shaving surface of the tooth lying ahead in work direction and the pressing surface of the tooth lying therebehind in work direction are in operation.

A plastic knife is provided comprising a handle, a blade, and a cutting edge. The blade may include a first surface and an opposite second surface, and integrally formed with and extending longitudinally from the handle. The cutting edge may be formed along one edge of the blade, the cutting edge comprising: (a) a first plurality of teeth integrally connected to and extending from the first surface, each tooth in the first plurality of teeth separated by a first concave groove; and (b) a second plurality of teeth integrally connected to and extending from the second surface, each tooth in the second plurality of teeth separated by a second concave groove. The first plurality of teeth and the second plurality of teeth may be integrally formed together while teeth in the first plurality of teeth and teeth in the second plurality of teeth are offset by a distance.

Apparatus and method for sharpening a cutting tool so as to have enhanced cutting performance. In some embodiments, a tool sharpener is provided having a rigid body with a slot extending therein. A knurl roller is disposed within an internal cavity within the rigid body and mounted for rotation about a selected axis adjacent the slot to facilitate a cold forging operation upon a cutting edge of a cutting tool via insertion of the cutting edge into the slot and retraction of the cutting tool across the knurl roller. An abrasive member is affixed to the rigid body to facilitate a sharpening operation upon the cutting edge by advancement of the cutting edge thereacross.
