While I think this is neat, I doubt the added complexity of the device, extra space required for storage of charger and the chore of charging it are worth the benefit of a slightly better, easier slice. Might be nice for people with certain disabilities though.




How much do you actually cook though? As a former professional chef I still do a lot of cooking and I’d love one of these and any storage trade off looks absolutely worth while.

A lot of the cool stuff we have now started off for accessibility.

If it works at least as well as the current electric knives, it let's you cut things you'd usually not try to cut.

Thin slicing frozen meat for instance, carving pumpkins, cutting bones etc.


I think it would be fine as u would need a lot less knives so one bespoke one with a charger wouldn’t be that big of a deal

Doesn't bespoke mean one of a kind and/or custom made for a specific purpose? I don't think this is bespoke. It's a gimmick.
