[0040] The above spacing member (130) is provided at a position spaced apart from the connecting member (110) toward the end of the cutting member (120) while the cutting member (120) is facing each other and bent. The spacing member (130) functions to maintain the spacing between the cutting members (120) on both sides.

[0041] The above-mentioned gap maintaining portion (130) is provided at the longitudinal end of at least one cutting portion (120) among the two-sided cutting portions (120). The gap maintaining portion (130) is provided to extend in the longitudinal direction from the longitudinal end of the one-sided cutting portion (120). The gap maintaining portion (130) is provided parallel to the handle portion (121) below the handle portion (121) of the one-sided cutting portion (120). In Fig. 4, reference numeral 122 illustrates a cut portion formed between the handle portion (121) and the gap maintaining portion (130).

[0042] A second bending portion (133) is formed between the gap maintaining portion (130) and the cutting portion (120) on the longitudinal inner side of the gap maintaining portion (130). The second bending portion (133) is formed on the inner surface of the roll cake knife (100). The second bending portion (133) may be formed as a concave groove extending in the vertical direction between the gap maintaining portion (130) and the cutting portion (120).

[0043] The above spacing maintenance part (130) extends in the longitudinal direction from the longitudinal end of one side cutting part (120) and is provided so as to be foldable by the second bending part (133).

[0044] The above spacing maintenance part (130) is provided in one side cutting part (120), and an insertion hole (135) into which the spacing maintenance part (130) is inserted is formed in the other side cutting part (120).

[0045] The above-mentioned gap maintaining portion (130) is provided with a projection (131) extending in the longitudinal direction at the longitudinal outer end. The projection (131) is provided to extend in a state in which the cross-sectional area is reduced compared to that of the gap maintaining portion (130).

[0046] The above insertion hole (135) is formed to a size in which the protrusion (131) is inserted and the gap maintaining member (130) is caught.
