A system may include a blade die, a first clamping caul positioned on a first side of the blade die, and a second clamping caul positioned on a second side of the blade die. A molding surface of the blade die and a molding surface of the first clamping caul may be configured to bend a first interchangeable blade positioned therebetween into a first shape in response to a first compression force. A second molding surface of the blade die and a molding surface of the second clamping caul may be configured to bend a second interchangeable blade positioned therebetween into a second shape in response to a second compression force.

In accordance with one aspect of the invention, an apparatus for peeling and cutting vegetables and other foods is provided. A plurality of blades form an aperture within a frame. This aperture expands as the vegetable passes through it. This method of food surface removal expedites the process by removing all sides of the vegetable surface at the same time, providing heightened safety features for users, allowing users to easily clean the apparatus, and allowing users to easily remove and replace broken blades or change blade types for a variety of culinary purposes.

A utility tool device including a handle with a tool recess and a lever arm recess; a rotatable lever arm with a magnet that is configured to fit in the lever arm recess; and a rotatable lever hinge attached to the lever arm and configured to attach to a tool; wherein the tool recess is configured to have a tool fit in the tool recess; and wherein the magnet is configured to lock a tool in place when the lever arm is in the lever arm recess.

A food slicer, which may be used for cutting a pizza with a single blade, and other food, such as pancakes, with multiple blades includes a housing configured to be gripped by a user in a first tilted orientation in which only the first rotating blade touches a work surface, and in a second level orientation, in which all three blades touch the work surface. A first rotating blade is mounted in the housing offset along a longitudinal axis from second and third rotating blades, whereby the tripod arrangement enables a steady structure during non-use, and whereby the second and third rotating blades may be lifted off of the working surface, while the first rotating blade cuts the pizza.

The present invention is a new-type kitchen cutting tool suitable to be used in households, canteens, restaurants etc. It is an entirely-new multi-edge protective cutting tool consisting of several blade units and the supporting cutting tool holder for holding the blade unit, used for cutting the food material into slices, shreds and dices. The blade unit may be changed so that the food material may be cut into slices, shreds and dices with different sizes and thicknesses. The cutting tool edge, the thin thread functioning as the cutting tool edge and the chopping board may be protected through the combination of the protective plate and the elastic blade or the thin thread, greatly extending their service life. The present invention is featured as easy operation, convenient, safe, high efficiency, raw material-, energy- and time-saved, wide application range and good quality of processed products.

A fiber-separation tool including a body with a channel located on a face of the body. The channel is defined by a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The channel is configured to receive an optical fiber ribbon. And, the fiber-separation tool comprises a first blade disposed in the channel with a cutting edge of the first blade. The first blade is configured to separate the optical fiber ribbon into a first portion comprising a first number of optical fibers and a second portion comprising a second number of optical fibers as the optical fiber ribbon is conveyed through the channel.

A knife assembly includes a multi-bladed knife and a protective cover. The multi-bladed knife includes a handle and a plurality of blades attached to the handle. Each blade of the plurality of blades extends longitudinally from the handle and substantially parallel to each other. Each blade includes a bottom cutting edge and a top non-cutting edge connected therebetween by opposing blade side surfaces. The protective cover includes a cover top and a pair of opposing cover side walls. The cover top is configured to fit over a substantial portion of each of the top non-cutting edges of the plurality of blades. The cover side walls extend downward and substantially parallel to each other from opposing end portions of the cover top. The cover side walls are spaced a predetermined distance apart to frictionally fit against outer most side surfaces of opposing outer most blades of the plurality of blades.
