My Safe Cutter Vs All-Purpose Spreader

[lt1jane]

I own both, and keep the MSC to show it to people, but HATE it and don't recommend it. My 4½ year old son uses the APS all the time. It's got a nice wide blade for spreading and a small serrated blade for cutting.

I don't know what you can cut with the MSC, but the APs is used all the time by my little guy. Personally, I recommend the APS as a child's first "knife."

Any other opnions?

Have you put the my safe cutter in your son's hands? It does cut most things that a child can eat.It also works great to use to carve pumpkins by the way.

Too funny. I don't have kids & don't own the MSC BUT I thought that its only use was for pumpkins. LOL Guess I should read up more on the kids products. I had one like that as a child for pumpkins so I didn't think about other foods. Duh on my part

I haven't because while it is serrated, it is DULL. I don't see how it can do anything other than mangle bread.

Not really - an old PC cookbook I have calls it a Kid's Pumpkin Cutter.

Have you TRIED it? It isn't dull. It won't cut skin but it does work - it does not mangle bread. It will cut hot dogs, meatloaf, bread, chicken tenders, fish, just about anything but firmer meats. Just llike the iSlice doesn't cut skin but it works great to cut coupons, open DVD's and CD's.

My kids are much older now (ages 20, 17 & 16) but I had the MFC when they were younger and they loved it. It looks more like a knife which was great when their dad and I had a knife and they wanted to have one, too. I agree that it will cut many different foods and they get to feel like "big boy"/"big girl" by using it.

Mary uses it. She helps me cut cucumber, tomatoes, little things like that. She loves to help and I don't have to worry too much, just keep an eye on her.

At what age do you let your kids use the my safe cutter?

My grandson (4) loves these knives, makes him feel grown up. However, he did cut his finger one day somehow when he decided to try and cut carrots.
