I shopped at many places and saw many electric knives before I decided to buy this set. I am so glad I waited to make my purchase. The knife is beautiful, and it makes a clean smooth cut. I am impressed with the quality for the price. I loved getting the matching serving fork as an extra in the set. I have used this knife on brisket, ribs, and a prime rib and I am totally satisfied. I highly recommend this set to any and all in need of a beautiful set that works.

1.0 out of 5 stars poorly designed, overheats easliy, December 13, 2007

We owned this knife for one day, then took it back.
The pros:
It's electric
The Cons:
I used it to carve a boneless cooked pork roast, turkey and pre-sliced ham. I didn't attempt to cut through bone or gristle.
Design: ergonomically poorly designed; poorly balanced, heavy in weight without being sturdy in performance or power; blades wobble even after being inserted properly and then reinserted just to make sure. The more you use it, the more they wobble.
Motor: Gives off a tremendous amount of heat making the unit almost difficult to hold; seems motor is underpowered.
On Button: If your hands get the least bit greasy it's very easy for your trigger finger and supporting fingers to slip dangerously close to the blades. I attribute this to the poor balance of the knife and poorly designed handle.

Recommendation: Don't buy this. Consider the Black & Decker slim line model, which I have owned in the past and intend to purchase again. My old B & D gave up the ghost after many years of service, primarily since I cut through some frozen desserts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Knife, good case, May 8, 2007

I bought this knife to replace one that was an antique. (It finally failed after over 20 years - switch wore out.)
This is a piece of junk! My first "adventure" with this knife was to cut super thin slices of ham. The blades wobbled (left to right) so bad I could hardly cut the ham at all. It was not controllable. I felt that it was dangerous. I did like the feel in my large hands. If mine wasn't defective, these should be recalled!
