The Bagel Biter Original Bagel Guillotine Slicer is the fast, safe and easy way to slice bagels. Features a cradle that holds the bagel, while two clear acrylic safety shields keep fingers away from the patented bagel piercing blade. It's so fast it can slice as many as 24 bagels in one minute. Lift the handle (which includes the blade and safety shields). Place a bagel in the cradle and place the blade handle unit over the cradle and push down with a rapid motion and remove the perfectly sliced bagel. The blade is coated for smooth slicing and durability.
