Apparatuses associated with cutting elements are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a blade pin may include a head and a main body. The main body may extend from the head of the blade pin, and may include a cavity. The main body may further include a first aperture, wherein the first aperture is connected to the cavity. The main body may further include a second aperture formed in a sidewall, wherein the sidewall extends from the first end to the second end of the main body, and wherein the second aperture is connected to the cavity. The blade pin may include a valve, wherein the valve allows passage of a lubricant into the cavity through the first aperture and prevents passage of the lubricant out of the cavity through the first aperture. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

An apparatus for slicing food product to produce food product slices. The apparatus includes a circular cutting head having an axis and at least one knife assembly on the circumference of the cutting head, and a knife extending axially inward and having a corrugated shape to produce a food product slice with a periodic shape characterized by peaks and valleys. At least one component securing the knife to the cutting head has a surface facing radially inward and a corrugated shape shaped differently than the corrugated shape of the knife to minimize surface contact between unsliced food products and the cutting head.
