Abstract
The kitchen utensil provides the consumer a unique method for cutting a sandwich, which includes perforating or a complete and clean cut. The kitchen utensil while upright with the top portion resting in the palm of the consumer's hand with downward pressure being applied and rocked from end to end will push the bottom portion made up of the kitchen utensil blade or cutting side consisting of both comb like teeth in the center and wide blades on either end through the sandwich. The sandwich after being perforated will maintain its traditional square or rectangular shape so the consumer can place and remove the sandwich in and out of a sandwich bag.
