Abstract
The invention is that of an ovoid-shaped cutting accessory configured to fit over the spine of a knife to allow its user to provide downward pressure to the spine of the knife to aid in safely cutting through materials of such density that the knife handle alone does not allow the user to safely provide sufficient pressure to cut through the material. The cutting accessory comprises a longitudinal notch traversing the major axis of the accessory and configured to receive a resilient jaw comprising opposing arrays of resilient teeth by press-fitting. The teeth of the opposing arrays may be offset such that each tooth of one array fits between two teeth of the opposing array to provide strong gripping of the spine of the knife. The cutting accessory is designed to provide safety for the user by reducing the possibility that the user's finger may slip and be cut.
