Do they have a guide on them to enable you to make even slices? That would make one worth buying, for me.

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!
