Superior Electric Knife

The Cuisinart CEK-40 Electric Knife is by far the best ever, and I’ve used three other brands. The knife and blades store securely in the very attractive tray and the attached cord tucks away neatly behind the stand. I especially like the bread knife which works wonderfully on crusty breads. The blades slip easily into the knife handle and are just as easily removed. This is definitely a quality product and well worth the price.

Update (2/5/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Awesome Knife
I bought this knife in November after reading the reviews here. I feed my large breed dog a “raw meaty bone” diet and wanted a reliable knife to cut pork shoulders and other large pieces of meat. This knife exceeded my expectations. Worked so great on the Thanksgiving turkey (not for the dog), that I bought three more as Christmas gifts.
It does make a peculiar burning smell for the first hour or so of use, and my wooden knife holder was thrown out after the third use. It rests in the drawer just fine with the other larger utensils.
I highly recommend this knife.

stripped gears
I am very disappointed by this product. I was carving my turkey last Thanksgiving, when the knife has stopped working after he started getting on the bones of the wing. The engine continued to work, but the blades stopped moving. The knife has been used only 3 times, but I had to throw today. I opened the plastic case, and found a metal screw from the shaft, and a nylon gear cheap thereto for moving the blade back and forth. The train was stripped of nylon and the knife was useless. My knife before, much less expensive, has lasted 18 years. The knife is well made and works well only when it is subjected to stress.
