Popis: Cutting mozzarella with a dull blade results in poorly shaped slices: the process occurs in a configuration so deformed as to yield unexpectedly curved surfaces. We study the rich morphogenetics arising from such process through the example of coring: when a thin cylindrical hollow punch is pushed into a soft elastomer, the extracted core is "clarinet-shaped", reaching diameters far smaller than those of the tool. With contributions from fracture mechanics and large strain theory, we build a simple yet quantitative understanding of the observed shapes, revealing the crucial role of friction.
