Hamilton Beach Electric Knife Set for Carving Meats, Poultry, Bread, Crafting Foam & More, Reciprocating Serrated Stainless Steel Blades, Ergonomic Design Storage Case + Fork Included, 5Ft Cord, White

Great knife.

The media could not be loaded. After 20 years or so of use, my original hamilton beach carving knife gave out, after I dropped the knife on the floor. And since I had gotten so many years of good use out of the knife and since the knife always gave me the results I wanted from an electric knife, I immediately purchased a new hamilton beach to replace the old one.To my eye, the old knife and the new knife are remarkably identical in shape and functionality. The carved piece at the front bottom of the knife is slightly longer on the new model but that's about all I can see that is outwardly different.The case that comes with the new knife is far more modest than the old knife being that the old knife case was slightly large, was lined more nicely and had better compartments to hold the blades and the fork, but that modified design isn't a major concern for me.The knife size, shape, grip, ease of use (etc.) is all as good with the new knife as with my trusty 20-year old model.For the price, this is a nice version of an electric carving knife.

Great quality. Gave as a gift and my sister loves it. Very sharp and easy to handle

I bought this electric knife needing to modify the case foam for a few Pelican riflecases I was waiting to customize. I was looking around for a good hotwire knife, but I decided to go primitive and don't really care if it looks PERFECT inside as long as my expensive gear and firearms are protected and seated well. I pictured my layout inside, flipped the foam inserts over and traced every item facing backwards with a sharpie. This way, the nicer side which would face up as you opened the case would not have marker lines (watch the video from Brownells).I cut the interior for two cases, one a three piece AR-15 long-range sniper setup with upper and lower separate and the optic and QD mount separate as well. The other case has two individual AR-15's completely assembled and two magazines for each firearm cut. I was able to do the cutting myself very easily with a sharp edge tool to "start" the initial cut and working my way from the middle to the edge with the Hamilton Beach electric knife. The end result is very attractive albeit NOT perfect, but I don't need a pretty case interior....just one that looks good enough and keeps my items safe.The only gripes I have, and the reason for the 4/5 stars are two things. 1.) The knife gets very hot after a short amount of use. Granted this is not a unit designed to cut yards and yards of foam...it's designed to cut cooked meats...so I can't fault it for that too much. The other thing is the 'cut' button is a depressed return system....so you constantly have to depress the button to keep your blades moving and it can tire your fingers quite quickly. I would have liked a button lock to keep the knives moving, but I know this is a safety precaution and it is easy to work around.Overall great product, cut two whole cases and still works like brand new! I am happy with the purchase. Who knows, maybe I'll have some meat to cut with it sometime to really give it a good field test...

I'm done with the battery types!! This is typical dependable "ELECTRIC" knife. Slice right through crust bread like butter. Haven't tried it on meat yet but I'm sure it will be fine too. Be careful of the electrical cord though. It's a little short and tends to bend in the way.

Needed a good knife for my homemade bread this did the job!

Great for ham, turkey, ribeye an brisket

After a few tries with other electric knives, this one was PERFECT, an Excellent replacement for my previous electric knife. It’s budget friendly and comes with a case. I love this one so much i gave one to my son/daughter-in-love for their first holiday turkey. That’s saying a lot .,. I would never give them something just “okay.” This knife is excellent.The weight and grip and very nice. It’s weighty. Not as is “too heavy,” but it feels solid and sturdy in your hand. It feels strong and reliable, not flimsy. It’s balanced well, so it feels secure. It’s comfortable and ergonomic, seems like a natural e tension of my hand. You don’t need to hold your hand in an awkward way to get a firm slice (as I found with another I tried).The knife release is easy to operate, very intuitive. And I do love that it comes in a case, so it stores away in a compact unit, cord and all. Ours came with a bonus carving fork, which was an unexpected gift.Overall I highly recommend this one and am happy to have found a suitable replacement to the previous one.
