Incomparable Carving Knife
I a moment ago got this knife and so far it is great. I like the weight balance and size of the knife. It makes carving very easy. Also the blade is extremely sharply. I looked into this because the show "American Test Kitchen" recommended it for functionality and price.

It can never be to big!
I like my knives lengthy. This is longest one I could find. Great for carving a roast or ham or flank steak. Holds a good edge. Glad I bought it.

Ardent Knife
Don't regard as that a great knife has to cost big bucks ! Purchased this knife on the recommendation of "America's test kitchen" and it cuts through big peices of sustenance like butter. Extremely satisfied !

Inimitable for tough cuts of meat
It may seem out-of-the-way to buy a fairly expensive specialty knife when we are cutting back and buying cheaper cuts of meat, but this knife has worked out righteous. I can cut paper thin, cross-grain slices like I'm slicing through butter, turning those tough but flavorful cuts into a charming meal or to go on top of salads. Didn't pick this up until after the holidays, but thinking about cooking a large turkey tit just to test it out!

Wonderful give-away
This is a wonderful knife at a good deal price. Readers of Cooks Illustrated will recognize this knife as one of their top rated knives, and there's good reason. This knife is the fully realized length for slicing roasts, hams, etc, with a single stroke. It comes with a nice edge good out of the box, and it holds its edge well.

This knife is proof that you _can_ make a great stamped-steel knife (even if most manufacturers don't).

Gracious but not great
I use this mostly for slicing homemade bread. Granted, I nurture to make some dense, whole grain loaves (which is why I went with an electric knife) but I didn't think it would struggle like it does. It did ok with smaller roasts, but I haven't tried it on turkeys or anything where it might contend with a bone. As others have mentioned, there is a small gap between the blades. It's likely not going to be the last electric knife you ever own. But it is inexpensive and gets the job done. I haven't tried any others so unfortunately I can't favour another brand.

Don't hubbub....
I ordered this point to carve a prime rib--a tender roast. I tried using the knife tonight and neither my husband or I could get it to work very well. We struggled to get it to slice the viands. The blades didn't seem to move right. We read the directions over carefully and were doing what they said to do. Still, we wouldn't get the knife to calling right. We ended up using a regular old carving knife...and we are returning this knife. It really seemed poor quality. You could practically bow the blades with your fingers.

Exacly what I needed
I've been using this knife for almost a year now. It still works like a rabbit's foot even after hundreds of uses. I do a lot of barbecue from Tri-tips to whole chickens to...

The blades are still sharp and require little attempt to cut through even chicken bones. The blades are easily detached with wet/dirty hands while in the process of cooking or doing dishes and can be placed in the dishwasher utensil stance with no problems.

I would have like a foot or two more on the cord since the one it came with limits me to a certain section of my kitchen piece. It's also a pretty loud knife for being so small.

WAY too jarring!
I bought this knife to put back a roughly 20 year old model which is the same design as this one. The blades lost their plastic blade guards, the blades weren't as cutting and I couldn't get new blades.

This new knife is very noisy and not as easy to control as the old one. I like the offset blades but that is about the only thing I like about it. The old knife came with sharp blades as well as the normal long ones. The new EK700 only has long blades.

Even though the little plastic ladies' man guards have fallen off the old knife blades, I've gone back to using that knife. This purchase was not a success.

Useful and dependable
This dwarf number does what it is supposed to do and does it well. Ergonomically well designed and lives up to the expectations I had for it. Nice to have a Spartan but frequently used tool that is dependable and easy to use.
