Abstract:
1. A kitchen utility knife comprising: a knife blade and handle combination wherein a compartment located within the handle can be filled with a viscous substance that can be passed from said compartment into a dispensing duct located within said knife blade and exit through at least one dispensing port located on an edge opposite a knife edge of the knife blade, and wherein movement of said material is accomplished via rotational movement of a threaded advance knob located at a base end of the handle, which in turn traverses a pusher plate back and forth within said compartment; wherein the threaded advance knob screws onto an opening located the base end of the handle; wherein a rod extends from the threaded advance knob and along the length of the compartment and interacts with an alignment guide and of which said rod has threading that corresponds to the pusher plate; wherein a retaining ring secures a rotating member to the threaded advance knob such that the rotating member screws onto the opening at the base end of the handle, and enables the threaded advance knob and the rod to rotate thereabout, and thus progress the pusher plate backwards or forwards within the compartment; wherein the cross-sectional shape of the pusher plate conforms to the cross-sectional shape of the compartment.
