Thanks for all the help guys. I'll use a router to cut my pattern into a block to be pressed against the cutting board. The smallect cutting bit is a lot bigger than the knifing material, but I should be able to secure it with some epoxy. Embedded in the wood like that should produce some lateral stability. Following an aluminum template with a drawn knife should make enough pre-production prototypes.

If I follow through (and this has been developed for 6 years and I haven't moved forward yet), I will send all who replied a sample of my novelty gag item.
