Dear Paul,
If I had responded to your e-mail even 6 weeks ago, I would have told
you how easy it is to use an electric knife, how safe it is, even for
a person who is blind, and how much I loved my electric knife. I
especially loved my electric knife for cutting homemade bread.
Then, one night, about 6 weeks ago, I was slicing a pork
tenderloin. The amazing thing is that I was thinking to myself, I
have to be careful to keep the cord away from the blade. Then, I got
a phone call, and when I came back to the counter after hanging up
the phone, I just picked up the knife and began slicing -- right, as
it turned out, through the cord! There was this huge bang, and the
lights went out because when the current shorted out, the circuit
breaker tripped!
After I had pulled myself together and flipped the circuit breaker
back and unplugged the now defunct knife, I realized that I was not
dead and all I was missing was the knife!
Still, it was scary, and I have not replaced the electric knife.
But, I do miss it whenever I make a loaf of bread, because I loved
having so much control when cutting evenly spaced slices!

can a totally blind person use an electric knife and are there any
knife guides for them. i only ask because i see sighted people use
them and they cut nice slices. i just thought it would be nice to
get one but at the same time they can be dangerous if your not careful.
any expierences with one good or bad welcomed.
Paul and Pilot Dog Dazzle
