Abstract:
1. A cutting board apparatus comprising: a plurality of material layers of approximately equal size and shape, stacked and removably adhered to one another such that each outermost layer comprises at least one exposed surface defining a potential cutting surface whereby when each outermost layer is removed from a next subsequent layer a fresh potential cutting surface is uncovered; a sanitary seal enclosing a perimeter surface of the stacked plurality of material layers such that no external seams, gaps and crevices are exposed between each of the plurality of material layers; and a layer separator having a cutting blade whereby when the layer separator is positioned against the sealed perimeter surface of the plurality of material layers, the cutting blade is approximately aligned with an outermost sealed seam, crevice or gap that is present between the outermost layer and the next subsequent layer of the plurality of material layers, wherein the layer separator further comprises a first housing section, a second housing section having a blade post, the blade post further having a plurality of blade supports, a scoring blade having a blade post receiver that adaptively fits onto the blade post such that when assembled the blade can rotate perpendicular to the blade post and the plurality of blade supports keeps the blade approximately aligned with an outermost sealed seam, crevice or gap that exists between the outermost layer of the plurality of material layers and a next subsequent layer of the plurality of material layers.
