Excellent, Easy to Use Electric Knife
353002
This electric knife is simple to use, cuts very well, and is easy to assemble/disassemble for cleaning.  The case is convenient for storage, as I only use this knife once or twice a month for gatherings.  So far there aren't any issues with quality or durability and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good priced, reliable electric knife.

This comment, cutting is easier with sharp knifes, may be obvious, but, if you are like me, it doesn't get done regularly. I have an electric sharpener but, often, didn't get it out of the closet--next time I'd say. The Chef's Choice fits nicely in my knife drawer and, in a sense, nags me to sharpen our knifes. On top of this fact, it works easily and does a great job.

I saw this in a Finecooking magazine article on Chinese cooking. The writer praised it highly.

Excellent little pocket knife. Very handy for the small tasks around the house, job, or office. So far I've used it to cut boxes, cord, twine, and various other things. Has a comfortable grip, but I don't think it is made to take much abuse. The replaceable blade is the perfect convenience that completes the knife. Would recommend to anyone, I already convinced two other colleagues to purchase one of their own. 5/5

This knife is excellent. I like the exact way it cuts the bread and meats.  Handle is very well designed and convenient to hold. Separate knife set for the meats is a plus . The price on Ebay was very affordable comparing to this in the department stores and delivery time was very short.

What a great knife.  I finally used it the other night, I'm not great in the kitchen when it comes to having to cut and chop but this knife made it so much easier.  It's bigger than I thought it would be and comes in a great storage case.  Would make a great gift as well.

I bought this after seeing the recommendation on Cooks Illustrated. I purchased new knives the other day and was very close to buying the rather expensive electric sharpener CI recommended when I saw this one got just as manygood reviews and was 150.00 less (woohoo!). It is very easy to use once you choke back the fear of having your hand awfully close to that soon-to-be-wickedly-sharp blade you are using it on. The design is definitely nerve wracking at first but you get used to it quickly. I have only used it twice in the last week or so and only for a few swipes each time. It gets the Voctorinox's blades incredibly sharp - I know nothing about regular knife sharpening so I do not know if it is normal for this to remove small shavings of metal whilst sharpening. I assume it is since that seems to be the nature of sharpening. It does remove very small shavings and I just wipe the knife off (carefully) with a clean cloth when I am done sharpening it. I have not used the sharpener on anything else and since I have only had it for a week I cannot speak to its longevity or continued efficacy. For 8.00 however, I have no complaints. I do not know that I would use it on a 200.00 professional knife but on my (again, CI recommended) Victorinox knives I have no fear and am very happy with my purchase.

We make our own bread every week, so this gets a lot of use.
We've used several lesser bread knives over the years, but were never quite satisfied.  We've been very happy with our other ikon series knives, so decided to give it a go.
It took 4 order attempts (we kept recieving the 8") and two years before we finally got our hands on the 9" ikon.  I'm glad we held out.  That extra inch really makes it easier to slice.  The 8" knives force you to make smaller strokes which makes it more difficult to get nice, straight cuts.  This thing is very easy to handle and makes a very smooth, straight cut.

I absolutely love this knife, its sharp as heck and easy to use once you get the hang of it. Just practice with it a bit and it becomes second nature to open!

Love this utility knife!  Holds extra blades securely, and it's easy to change blades.  I also like the curvature of the knife, makes it easy to hold and grip.  I use this all the time to cut boxes up for recycling, and to open hard plastic encased products.  Great utility knife, best one I've ever used.

This is the best knife I have ever had.  Easy to use to cut vegetables, meat or almost anything.
Saw one similar on "The Pioneer  Woman" and decided I had to have one.  Glad I did.

I got the knife sharpener a couple days ago. Right out of the box, it
was easy to use with simple short instructions and an online video for
visual learners like myself. I promptly used it on all my kitchen knives,
including Cuisinart, Oster, and Wustolf, and it worked great. A sharper
knife is a safer knife, and this fits the bill. Thank you!

I've tried many different knives.  Straight blades, razor blades, hook blades, sheepfoot blades, etc...  I've also tried different handle materials such as wood , metal, plastic, etc...  Of all of them this is the one I like the best.  Here is why I love it.  It is very lightweight.  The little thumb peg makes it a snap to open the blade single handed while working with live wires or in any situation.  You can even move the peg to either side of the blade depending on if your right handed or left handed.  The blade is extremely thin and pointy making it very sharp and easy to skin wire.  The really fine point makes it nice for slitting cable jackets.  I like the sheepfoot/hook blades because the round curve of the blade follows the contour of round cable when skinning.  Overall this is just a great electricians knife.  The only downfall is it doesn't include a little belt pouch.

Just excellent, loved it so much i gave my Farther in Law the one i ordered originally and have since ordered 2 more.
Outstanding, quick and easy to use, and the results are very sharp knife edges.

Luckily, I bought this knife BEFORE I read the reviews on Amazon.

I use this knife all day and I love it.  Mostly I use it to open boxes, sometimes to cut up boxes.  I tried about ten knives in the store before selecting this one.  I chose this knife because of how easy it is to extend and retract the blade, as well as the feel of the knife.  After buying one and using it for a few days, I purchased six more.

Most of the complaints I have seen here are from people that are using the knife for cutting shingles or carpet.  This is not a heavy duty knife - a fixed hook blade is probably a better choice for roofers.

One reviewer mentioned that the blade will not retract all the way.  This is probably because the blade was not installed correctly.  There are two cutouts on the top of the blade.  They probably hooked it up to the first cutout when installing the blade.

The Fatmax Retractable Knife that I have looks slightly different than the one in the photo - perhaps the redesign fixed some of the complaints (the black panels near the blade are now moved back about 1/4 inch).

This is a great knife and I like how easy it is to open.  Maintains a sharp blade and is easy to sharpen.

I'm not a knife aficionado or a knife collector, so my few knives are well used to do handy things, like opening letters and packages, cutting rope and string, and dozens of other jobs where a good knife is a useful tool.  The assisted opening function works very well with a little practice.  This is good since I often find that my other hand is busy doing something else I need done while I am trying to open my knife.  The locking button works well and it has never opened in my pocket, which could be hazardous as well as difficult to remove from the pocket in a partly open state.  It arrived in a razor sharp condition and cuts extremely well.  A good sharpener and strop are needed to keep it in top cutting condition.  These are not included but are available at many sporting goods stores, department stores, and on-line.

I would buy and have bought this knife more than once.  I gave one to my son as one of his Christmas presents and he likes his as much as I like mine.  I recommend this knife to family, friends, and others interested in owning a good knife at a reasonable price.

Great knife, opens nice and smooth.  Easy to close, making it safe.  Haven't had to use it to cut a seat belt or break a window, so I cannot comment on that yet; but it's only a matter of time.  I carry it every night as I work as an officer.
