A scissor-like utensil for cutting and serving slices of cake and similar goods has a pair of planar blades and a pair of handles by means of which the blades can be manipulated. The handles are formed with longitudinal slots and overlain so that a connector can be fitted through the adjacent slots to join the handles. The connector defines a pivot connection which permits the blades to be moved between closed and open orientations suitable respectively for cutting and gripping a serving and for releasing the serving. In the closed orientation, forward edges of the blades are proximate and substantially parallel, defining essentially a V-shaped structure corresponding to the shape of the serving to be cut, and a predetermined angle is formed between the blades which essentially determines the size of the serving. The pivot connection can be displaced and locked at intervals along the handles in such a manner that the angle formed between the blades can be varied to adjust serving size while maintaining the proximate relationship between the forward edges of the blades in the closed orientation.
