horror movie prop or kitchen gadget


This is called the Kwik-Kut. So, I already hate it because it they purposefully chose to use bad spelling (not to mention a totally unnecessary hyphen). For many that is reason enough to boycott. Here's another - it's rendered completely redundant if you own a knife.
Now, maybe there's some kind of specialty cutting this thing does. I mean, with the unusual shape and the handle it seems like something that simply must have a specific use to explain the design.
Well, from the Kwik-Kut Manufacturing (yes, it's the name of the company, too) website:
Tooth Edge-stainless steel blade with aluminum handle-2-7/8" diameter, 3" high.Uses:Chopping onions, egg salad, tuna fish, peppers, cabbage, collard greens, stawberries [sic] etc. Price: $3.95
Egg salad? Tuna fish? St(r)awberries? These things need a toothy contraption to cut? I couldn't just use my butter knife? My spatula? My grapefruit spoon?
The good news (I guess) is that it's only four bucks and takes up less space than a Rubik's Cube.
The really good news is that this company has a few other products I can't wait to write about.
