• (g) a swivel base member supporting said housing;
• (h) a pivotable guide member extending upwardly from one side of said member;
• (i) a slide member pivotally affixed to one end of said blade restraining said end to said guide member and preventing said blade from leaving said elongated vertical slot in said top hand grip and said housing when a person uses said knife to cut the bagel/roll into two parts and a handle on an opposite end of said blade;
• and
• (j) means for rotating said swivel base member with respect to said housing when said knife is upwardly pivoted out of said slot such that said guide member can be positioned on the left or the right side of said hand grip whereby said handle of said knife is correspondingly selectively positioned on the right or left side to thereby accommodate right and left handed people.
