Can we get the rechargeable ones here in the United States? Black & decker
has all sorts of rechargeable gizmos, worth looking in to!

after reading penny's experence i gave it some thought. i said its not
worth death by messing around with electricity and saying it can't happen
to me. i'll just stick with a sharp knife instead.

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.
