Description: |
| Claim:
My invention consists in forming a wedge at or near the juncture of the handle and cutting-blade of a tobacco-knife, so that the wedge will engage and force its way into the pith of the stalk, to guide the knife in its descent and keep it from slipping sidewise from the stalk, and cause the split stalk to separate, so as to let the hand of the operator pass between the split stalk without touching it. |
