## Abstract

A grating knife assembly combining elements of a knife and a cheese grater includes a knife that is selectively manipulated thereby facilitating the knife to cut a food item. The knife has a blade and a handle. The blade is structured to selectively frictionally engage an object to abrade debris from the object.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A grating knife assembly combining elements of a knife and a cheese grater, said assembly comprising:
a knife being configured to be manipulated thereby facilitating said knife to cut a food item, said knife having a blade and a handle, said blade being structured to selectively frictionally engage an object wherein said blade is configured to abrade debris from the object, said blade having a planar first surface, a second surface and a peripheral edge extending therebetween, said peripheral edge having a bottom side, said blade being elongated extending away from said handle such that said bottom side of said blade is elongated, each of said first surface and said second surface tapering to a point at said bottom side wherein said bottom side is configured to be sharpened; and
wherein said blade has a plurality of slots, each of said slots extending through said first surface and said second surface, said slots being spaced apart from each other, each of said slots being oriented perpendicular to said bottom side of said blade, each of said slots having a first bounding edge, said first bounding edge corresponding to each of said slots facing said handle, said first bounding edge corresponding to each of said slots being flush with said first surface of said blade and configured to cut the object thereby facilitating the object to be thinly sliced.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said blade has a plurality of punctures, each of said punctures extending through said first surface and said second surface.

### Claim 3

A grating knife assembly combining elements of a knife and a cheese grater, said assembly comprising:
a knife being configured to be manipulated thereby facilitating said knife to cut a food item, said knife having a blade and a handle, said blade having a planar first surface, a second surface and a peripheral edge extending therebetween, said peripheral edge having a bottom side, said blade being elongated extending away from said handle such that said bottom side of said blade is elongated, each of said first surface and said second surface tapering to a point at said bottom side wherein said bottom side is configured to be sharpened, said blade being structured to selectively frictionally engage an object wherein said blade is configured to abrade debris from the object, said blade having a plurality of punctures, each of said punctures extending through said first surface and said second surface, each of said punctures having a bounding edge, said bounding edge corresponding to each of said punctures tapering to a plurality of points wherein each of said points is configured to abrade the debris from the object, said blade having a plurality of slots, each of said slots extending through said first surface and said second surface, said slots being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said punctures and said handle, each of said slots being oriented perpendicular to said bottom side of said blade, each of said slots having a first bounding edge, said first bounding edge corresponding to each of said slots facing said handle, said first bounding edge corresponding to each of said slots being flush with said first surface of said blade and configured to cut the object thereby facilitating the object to be thinly sliced.
