"The risk of personal injury is much higher with a double-bladed lightsaber, and their practical applications around the home are limited. Therefore, it is probably best to save your money and stick with the single-blade version." -- Marshall Brain, page 4 of the lightsaber entry at howstuffworks.com

Elsewhere in the entry are such gems as, "The big advantage of using a lightsaber, of course, is that you can both cut and toast the bagel in one stroke," and, "NEVER point the blade emitter of a lightsaber toward your own body. NEVER look down the 'barrel' of a lightsaber, even if you are 'sure' it is in safe mode. If you accidentally activate the lightsaber, serious injury could result." And the illustration of using a lightsaber to reheat coffee.

I'm trying to imagine a frame to support the bagel so that you don't char your cutting board. Probably a thing that uses a little compression to hold the bagel in the right orientation a few inches above a surface.

[Luke is practicing lightsaber drills against a remote bagel]

Han Solo: Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living, that's something else.

Good against plain, that's one thing. Good against cinnamon raisin, that's something else.
