Abstract
A manual multi knife cutting device for vegetables and other material of similar structure 5 wherein: the knives are mounted directly in a base cum guide containing slots and filcrum bolt for the knives, and an enclosure cum platform for the vegetables right next to the knife fulcrum. The enclosure location close to the fuilcrum reduces cutting loads and it's closed design prevents vegetable sliding. The guides which make up the base using spacers and connecting bolts at the bottom fudly support the knives throughout the cutting stroke enabling a smooth cut. Slots 0o extending below the platform enable the knives to go past the cut pieces for a clean cut. The best mode is illustrated in FIG. 1.
