• a handle section connected to the J-shaped section;
• wherein the J-shaped section has a bottom portion connected to a stem portion;
• wherein the J-shaped section has a substantially uniform thickness;
• wherein the sharp edge has a thickness which is substantially less than the substantially uniform thickness of the J-shaped section;
• wherein the handle section has a thickness which is substantially greater than the uniform thickness of the J-shaped section;
• wherein the blade section, the J-shaped section, and the handle section are configured so that a person can place an index finger of the person so that an end of the index finger contacts the bottom portion of the J-shaped section and a length of the index finger contacts the stem portion of the J-shaped section, while simultaneously one or more further fingers of the person grip the handle section;
• wherein the sharp edge of the blade section has a first end and a second end;
• wherein the first end of the sharp edge of the blade section is further from the handle section than the second end of the sharp edge of the blade section;
• wherein the bottom portion of the J-shaped section is closer to the first end of the sharp edge of the blade section than the second end of the sharp edge of the blade section;
• wherein the bottom portion of the J-shaped section has a first end directly connected to the stem portion of the J-shaped section and a second end which is directly connected to a first end of a substantially straight surface;
• and
• wherein the substantially straight surface has an opposing second end which is directly connected to the first end of the sharp edge of the blade section.
