Help me find a sandwich cutter for adults?

My 17yo is disabled and cannot handle a knife.

I'm trying to locate a sandwich cutter that will cut a slice of bread into triangles (he's autistic, needs to be triangles) that he can use.

It can't be sharp enough to lose a finger.. just to cut bread.

I'm struggling to find one, they're all for kids and are silly shapes.

Anyone have any ideas?

Temu sell them! And they’re £2. Delivery takes a while but I’ve never had any issues with them.

Would a mezzaluna help? You hold it with both hands.

I meant just the triangle one.

Could he use scissors? I always cut sandwiches with kitchen scissors, it creates a much better line and causes less mess.

Search "plastic kitchen knife" Amazon - they're often sold in packs of 3. I think they'd be perfect, and they come in different colours. We have a black one.

They’re normally sharper than a knife. Mine is lethal!

But what about the exploding tomatoes!! Ask me what I know about a cheese, tomato and mayo sandwich cut with scissors 😂

Does it matter if the crusts are cut off? Found this one. Or maybe if the bread is small

this might be perfect! thank you/

unfortunately not, i tried that and he just point blank told me scissors weren't for cutting bread and refused to discuss it further. 😂

I was going to suggest a pizza cutter too!

I was going to recommend the gadgets thread but it’s already been posted- some fantastic things on there.
