A knife holder has a base (2) which supports several gripping members (9) in the form of rollers (12) of elastomer placed pair-wise in side-by-side relationship and cooperating with each other. The rollers (12) are each mounted on a journal (13) located on the base (2) and have facing circumferential surfaces (14) which form therebetween a nip (15). A knife (10) may be moved with its blade (11) into and out of the nip, the rollers (12) rolling on both sides of the blade and under elastic blade (11) retentive deformation of the rollers.
