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 of 45 degrees (+ or −15) 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 plane of the blade. Embodiments describe fixed and rotatable means of attachment of the secondary handle to the blade. Embodiments further describe reversible and permanent means of attachment of the secondary handle. The placement of the secondary handle at the angle described allows for the optimal positioning of the hands for both controlling an assisting with the cutting of foods and other items.
Claims11
A knife comprising:
- a blade having a bottom cutting edge and a top edge;
- a primary handle extending from a rear end of the blade and a secondary handle;
- a means for rotatably mounting said secondary handle on said top edge of the blade;
- said secondary handle having a longitudinal axis sufficiently wide to accommodate multiple fingers thereby allowing the fingers to press down with minimal side torque and a means for receiving said means for rotatably mounting substantially centered on said longitudinal axis;
- and
- said secondary handle being rotatable within a plane located above the top edge of said blade and said plane being substantially perpendicular to a plane defined by the top edge and the bottom cutting edge of the blade.
