  1. Waf you are making trash chalange video.
    Electric knife vs iron ( ya iron not a simple knife there is no 100$ knife which cannot cut chiken or brad better then this trash)
    P.S. Good blass you man

  2. The second knife that Julia Cullen Davidson Used sounded absolutely terrible! It sounded like it was struggling to cut through the meat, and it didn't sound consistent. It was way too loud and way too high pitched. The Black & Decker knife, however, Did not sound nearly as bad and as she used it to cut through the meat, the motor did not sound like it was going to break. If I was with her and had to use one, I would have to put my earplugs in, because I can't stand the sound of an electric knife, especially when it's loud like that with only one speed. The second electric knife also looked about as ugly as Sin.

  3. Not sure if Black+Decker has changed how they make this electric knife- but I bought it last week and have already returned it. It could not cut through a fresh turkey breast that I roasted or bread that I had baked without shredding everything like confetti.

  4. I hate electric knives very much because of their high pitch scream, but the Black & Decker white electric knife sounded so much better than the left knife that Julia Collin Davison used. That one sounded absolutely awful!

  5. I bought a new (in box) electric knife a couple of years ago, tried to use it for the first time a week or so ago. I had trouble, it seemed like it didn't want to cut unless I gave it downward pressure and made a cutting motion. What's the point of an electric knife if you still have to slice like a manual knife? I used it on a corned beef. Slices were pretty thick, I wanted to make thin slices for sandwiches. But if I tried to make thin slices it just shredded the meat, or curled away into non-uniform slices.

  6. I own the winner. Yesterday and today I used it to slice breasts of two turkeys (each day) at church. On both days, the body of the knife got very hot. I’d prefer one that can handle more work without overheating. But I totally agree that the ergonomics and maneuverability of this knife are very good.

  7. I've had the Black and Decker Electric Knife for a few months now after getting into Sourdough baking because of well… You know…

    I've had great success with it. It cuts through the thickest of crust with ease!

    I only wish it were cordless, but at the $13 I paid for it, I'm not complaining.

  8. We use an electric knife that came as a free gift when we purchased a bread maker in the 1980's. The bread maker has long since died–the knife is still going strong. Hubby now makes his own bread from scratch and the knife works perfectly to cut it.

  9. Very disappointed the American Angler, Bass Pro, Bubba Blade and Mister Twister electric fillet knives weren't tested. The looks I got when I took my old, trusty Mister Twister to a Thanksgiving turkey were priceless!

  10. If that Black & Decker is anything like their other products, it'll work for a few days then quit, assuming it wasn't already broken in the box. Their quality has dropped horribly over the last 20 years.
