Abstract
A knife and fixture for attaching the knife to an existing bread board, the front end of the knife being pivoted to the attachment so that the knife may be pivotly swung for chopping vegetables and the like, slicing tomatoes, meat and other foods, etc. The attachment is slipped on to an edge of the board and is resiliently held thereon by upper and lower arms at opposite sides of the board. The knife is sharpened or beveled on one side only. In another arrangement the knife is provided with a longitudinally extending slot at the forward end so that the knife may be guided and moved longitudinally for slicing food and the like.
