Abstract
A cutting and serving implement for pizza or other pies comprises a blade having a body portion with an arcuate cutting edge, and a handle portion extending from the body portion opposite the cutting edge at an angle of about 135.degree.. The configuration of the implement facilitates cutting of a pizza into slices by downward pressure applied on the handle accompanied by a rocking motion of the implement on the cutting edge, and lifting of a cut slice for serving, by insertion of the body portion under the slice.
Claims1
A cutting and serving implement for pizza or other pies and the like comprising a blade having a planar body portion with a sharpened arcuate cutting edge, and a handle portion extending from the body portion opposite the cutting edge at an obtuse angle for facilitating cutting of a pizza or the like by downward pressure applied on the handle portion accompanied by a rocking motion of the implement on the cutting edge, and lifting of a cut slice of the pizza or the like by insertion of the body portion under the slice, the handle portion of the blade being bent up from the body portion, at an obtuse angle of about 135 degrees, about a bend line, the width of the body portion from an apex point of the cutting edge to the bend line being greater than the width of the handle portion from the bend line to a terminal edge of the handle portion, the implement having an elongate handle attachment on said terminal edge of the handle portion, the handle attachment extending substantially in parallel with the the bend line, and the blade having concave sides adjacent the cutting edge providing narrow corners at opposite ends of the cutting edge to allow cutting of a pizza or the like up to an edge of a pan in which the pizza or the like is prepared.
