Safe Slice Bagel Slicer

Not just this iteration but this whole product category — safe bagel slicer — is an oxymoron.

I once read that the reason bagels are so vexing to slice is that the object is curved in two dimensions at the point the blade meets the dough, resulting in inherent instability, slippage and thousands of trips to the ER every year.

But if you want to take your chances on this new iteration, hey, be my guest.
