Clever Cleavers, chopping board and knife combined

I’m surprised I’ve not come across these before, cleaver scissors, a combination of knife, chopping board and scissors.

I’ve been cutting home made pizzas with a pair of scissors for years, pizza loving guests (love of pizza is a pre-requisite for an invitation to my abode) always give me a strange look when I start slicing with a pair of scissors but it doesn’t take long for them to be converted to the easy way of cutting the perfect slice.

Any way back to the gadget of the clever cleaver. The clever cleaver works by the bottom part of the scissor like contraption being a small chopping board, whilst the top part the blade. You can then chop vegetables and fruit (well anything really) without the need of a proper chopping board (or scratched worktop). This also saves you having to clean dried up tomato pips of your regular chopping board every couple of months.

More info over here but be warned it’s been automatically translated by Google so probably reads worse than my inane ramblings.

I don’t see a personal use for this because I am proficient with a birds beak paring knife but, this tool looks a lot better made then other like scissors devices. Does the blades come apart for cleaning?

I bought one of these at Sears about 4 years ago for my grandmother.

It is especially useful for cutting vegetables, especially if you have a shaky hand and do not wish to slice it as well.

A similar product (and probably cheaper) is the Scissor Slicer.

I don’t really see a huge need for this. I have been using regular scissors for this purpose for years and they work fine. And, I bought them for 99 cents.

I just got one of these with a gift card at W&S. What a great kitchen tool, yes scissors work nicely also but this is just to easy to use and clean-up is a splash.

DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT. THE RED CLIP AT THE BOTTOM COMES OFF EASILY AND THE SCISSORS OPEN WITHOUT A WARNING. IF STORED IN DRAWERS CAN CAUSE SLASHED WRISTS BY ACCIDENT.

How in the world do I order the clever cleaver? I have tried many sites that show the item but there is NO way to order it.

I received as a gift & Love the knife but locking device on back broke off and its a pain to store now without wrapping with a rubber band to keep it shut. Anyone know where it can be repaired or parts please contact me.

Only the winner of the Preiliminary Round goes through to the final round.
