<p>A hand implement for slicing cheese, root vegetables and the like has a cutting blade (1) having an opening (4) for a cutting element (5). In order to prevent the cutting blade from sticking to the foodstuff and to prevent the sliced foodstuff (18) from sticking to the blade (1), the blade is manufactured from a bending resistant plastics material and the end parts of the cutting element (5) are cast or moulded in the blade so as to form a free slot (17) rearwardly of the cutting element (5). The slot (17) is effective to form a layer of air between the sliced foodstuff (18) and the upper surface (8) of the blade and prevents adhesion between the blade (1) and the sliced foodstuff (18).</p> |
