Multiple slicing device

A hand operated device for slicing an article of food into multiple slices with one hand, the device comprising:

• a body having a base, a housing, and a fixed handle, the base comprising a plurality of blade members arranged in an array, the housing creating an open area immediately above the blades, and the fixed handle projecting upwards from the housing;
• a forcing member movably coupled to the body to move between a first position in which at least a portion of the forcing member is positioned on a side of the open area away from the blades so that the article of food can be placed therebetween, and a second position in which the forcing member is engaged with the blades;
• and
• an actuator movably coupled with respect to the fixed handle and operatively coupled to the forcing member such that an operator can squeeze the actuator toward the fixed handle to move the forcing member from the first position to the second position to slice the article of food.
