This paper entails the design and fabrication of a manually operated vegetable leaf slicing machine. The developed machine consists of a hopper, the cutter housing, the cutting blades, the rotating shaft, and a wooden handle. The machine was designed to enhance the hygienic slicing of vegetable leaf materials and for prevention of knife-related injuries for both domestic and commercial use. The machine was tested with a slicing efficiency of 95.52 % with a provision of an alternative quick vegetable cutting process with no injuries, no electric power supply and with little or no noise to the operating environment. Keywords: Vegetables, slicing, cutting blade, knives, hopper
