The invention relates basically to cutting vegetables efficiently either at home or in commercial establishments. It can also be used for other fibrous materials where practical. The aim is a low cost solution for an efficient device. The new element is that of using several knives simultaneously without holding them in the hand except in Device C. Also the vegetables are not held by hand during cutting. These are excellent safety features. Such a device is not seen in the market. The important and novel feature of this invention is the use of slotted platform to eject the cut pieces from between the knives during the cutting process. Without this feature the device becomes clumsy and unusable. One more new element is the knives do not touch the board in Devices A and B. They are maintained at a distance of 2 mm above the slot bottom. This saves the board from knife marks and reduces the damage to the knife-edge. Also the deice reduces the on hand through using several knives, because of the use of lever action in devices A and B.
