The only electric knife I have ever laid hands on belonged to my mother.
The way I remember it is that there are 2 serated, very sharp blades that
fit one parallel to the other, blades facing down toward whatever you are
about to cut, into the end of a rectangular unit. The unit with these
parallel blades is held in your hand and has a button near the top of the
unit.
When you have lined up your knife on what you wish to cut, you press the
button in, like a slight squeezing motion, and hold the appliance as the
blades slice.
But, by gosh, you had better be careful! These knives could cut your finger
right to the bone in a split second if your finger gets too close.

Subject: [CnD] more about electric knives
Hi,
what happened to Penny is scary indeed, but it can happen to anyone,
sighted or blind, in a moment of carelessness. What worries me more is
that we might cut our fingers with those knives. Is there any protection
against that? I've never seen an electric knife so I have no idea. If
someone could please describe what it looks like that would be nice.
Thanks
Sisi
