A rounded food article, such as an onion, is quickly sliced into a number of slices by a manual device with a plurality of racks of parallel spaced tensioned blades mounted to the base at an acute angle. A transversing carrier assembly slides along guide rods in the base and is actuated by a pusher handle pivotally mounted to the base and pusher bar pivotally mounted to the pusher handle and the carrier assembly. The carrier assembly has a carrier plate and carrier fingers which are a parallel array of planor segments mounted above and parallel with the carrier plate and intermesh with the plurality of racks of blades. The food article is placed on the carrier plate and forced through the racks of blades by the carrier fingers, thereby slicing the onion into a number of slices. A guard mounted on the base shields the sharp edges of the blades. With the carrier in the open position the rack of blades in combination with the carrier fingers and guard creates a vertical cavity in which the food article to be sliced is inserted.
