Clever Cutter 2-in-1 kitchen knife

Chop straight into the kadhai. No board. Nothing extra to wash.

One squeeze cuts the onion, and it falls where you want it. The cutting board is built into the tool, 12cm of it, so you can hold it over the pan and let everything drop in. For everyday prep, the big board stays in the cupboard.

The problem

You wash a whole chopping board for two minutes of chopping.

One onion for the dal. A bit of ginger. Two green chillies. Coriander on top at the end.

The chopping is thirty seconds. Then the board comes out, goes down, gets used, gets carried to the sink, gets scrubbed, gets dried, goes back. And in a normal Indian kitchen there is no counter space to leave it out, so all of that happens four or five times a day.

The chopping was never the annoying part. The board was.

The mechanism

The board is built into the tool, so it goes wherever the food is going.

The Clever Cutter is two arms on a spring. The top arm is a 12cm stainless steel blade. The bottom arm is a 12cm cutting board. You put the vegetable between them and squeeze once.

Because the board is attached, you are not tied to the counter. Hold it over the kadhai and squeeze, and the pieces drop straight into the oil. Over a bowl for salad. Over the pressure cooker. Over the dustbin for the bits you do not want.

The spring pushes the arms back open after every cut, so it is one squeeze, one slice, again and again. No lifting, no repositioning, no scraping pieces off a board with the flat of a knife.
