A holder for mounting a knife assembly, e.g., as used in a bean snipper or similar device, to a mounting rod or similar structure. The holder includes first and second plate members which are moveably joined together at first ends thereof (e.g., in a hinged relation), and which are sized and shaped to contact the mounting rod at a plurality of points when closed together around the mounting rod such that the second ends of the plate members are brought together. A knife assembly, including a knife head and a knife rod, is attached to the knife holder by extending an end of the knife rod through knife rod apertures formed in one of the plate members until the end of the knife rod contacts a knife rod stop. The knife rod apertures position a portion of the knife rod adjacent to the mounting rod at a contact point. A tightening structure, such as a hand rotatable knob, is mounted on the second ends of the plate members, to bring the second ends together when the tightening structure is tightened, thereby pinching the mounting rod between the plate members while simultaneously pinching the knife rod between the plate member and the mounting rod, thereby to secure the knife assembly to the mounting rod.
