You probably thought the dangers of bagel cutting were conquered 15 years ago with the invention of the Bagel Guillotine, the self contained slicer that offers no chance of injury.

Meet a duo out to build a better bagel cutter to end this “epidemiological scourge” for good.
The dad of the father-son team, a radiologist, sees his mission as saving “health care dollars” with a traditional bread knife encased in a protective plastic casing. It “lets you saw,” the son tells the Wall Street Journal, which is what a bagel-slicer really wants to do, hence will save fingers. “This thing is going to let you cut towards your hand,” scoffs the incredulous inventor of the Guillotine. “This is designed by a doctor?” (More bagel stories.)
