A produce slicer 10 for slicing produce is disclosed. The produce slicer
includes a frame (12) defining a cavity (16) having a central axis
(22). A plurality of radial cutting blades (20) are disposed in the
cavity, wherein each of the radial cutting blades are substantially contained by
an imaginary plane, wherein the imaginary planes of the radial cutting blades extend
radially outward from the central axis toward the frame. The produce slicer (10)
further includes a plurality of ancillary cutting blades (24) extending
inward from the frame (12) and into the cavity (16). Each ancillary
cutting blade intersects at least one of the radial cutting blades at a location
between the frame and the central axis. The ancillary cutting blades may include
a first series (50) of blades located substantially perpendicularly to a
second series (52) of blades. The radial cutting blades may intersect the
ancillary cutting blades at an oblique angle.
