there is such a knife in india they cut food more likely fish before cooking but instead of running the knife on the food they run the food on the blade. and the pedal is to step it to keep balance.

It's called a "boti" knife. And yes, it's used in India, Nepal, Pakistan, and the surrounding regions. It's held down by a foot placed on the platform and food moved into the fixed blade instead of bringing the knife to the food. Some have a serrated disk folded down on the top that's used for shredding coconut. They're used on all manner of fruit, vegetables, fish, and meat. Basically the chef's knife of the Indian subcontinent. They can be all steel like this one, or just the blade secured to a wooden board or other base.

Lol its actually interesting. I do a lot of fishing. Last week i caught over 80 mullet. I am wondering if this would be fun to use. I could take it to a pier and sell it to one of the elder guys that go there everyday.

I told the lady at the check out that i saw a youtube video of someone cuting up fish on a blade Similar to the pic but had no idea that the (boti) blade was a thing. Thats a neat find for me. And thank you the the reply. I bet it would come in handy for wrapping paper during christmas.
