Abstract
Double handle knives and attachments to convert a knife to a double handle knife are described with secondary handles able to form an angle (a) between about 20 to 70 degrees between the long axis of the secondary handle and the long axis of the blade in a plane at about right angles to the blade. Embodiments describe fixed, rotatable, and indexable means for the angle of attachment of the secondary handle to the blade. Embodiments further describe reversible and permanent means of attachment. The placement of the secondary handle at the angle described allows for the optimal positioning of the hands for both controlling and assisting with the cutting of foods and other items.
Claims24
1) A double handle knife comprising:
- a blade with a primary handle extending off the back end of said blade;
- said blade having a bottom cutting edge and a top edge;
- a secondary handle;
- said secondary handle having a long axis sufficiently wide to accommodate multiple fingers and a short axis;
- means to mount said secondary handle to the top of said blade such that an angle being between about 20 degrees and about 70 degrees may be formed between the long axis of said secondary handle and the long axis of said blade forward of their attachment;
- said angle being in a plane at about right angles to the plane of the blade, whereby the attachment of said secondary handle to the blade provides an angle optimal for the dual purpose of both positioning and cutting of food items.
17) A secondary handle attachment comprising a secondary handle, said secondary handle having a long axis sufficiently wide to accommodate multiple fingers and a short axis;
- reversible means to mount said secondary handle to the top of a blade at an angle being between about 20 degrees and about 70 degrees formed between the long axis of said secondary handle and the long axis of the blade forward of their attachment, said angle being in a plane at about right angles to the plane of the blade whereby the attachment of said secondary handle to the blade provides an angle optimal for the dual purpose of both positioning and cutting of food items.
