Abstract
A hand held rotary cutting device having an annular cutting blade with an interior diameter entirely protectively enclosed by a housing, and with a sharpened periphery partially protectively enclosed by the housing, wherein the housing has similarly configured front and rear components that are movable between an open position that permits removal of the cutting blade for cleaning, and a closed position wherein the front and rear components cooperate to rotatably support the cutting blade, and to define an elongate handle that overlies a housed portion of the cutting blade. Cutting pressure, stability and unusually effective guidance are supplied to the cutting blade by novel C-shaped lower portions of the front and rear components of the housing that extend continuously along opposite sides of the cutting blade just above and quite near to where selected portions of a long, exposed C-shaped reach of the sharpened periphery of the cutting blade is available to sever thin food such as pizza.
