Hi,
I think it would be kind of risky to try to slice an English muffin in half with an electric knife because the muffin is so narrow.

I just use my fingers, or a fork, to pull the muffin apart. A knife squishes all those "nooks and crannies," whereas if you just pull them apart with your fingers, the nooks and crannies are still in tact for trapping the melted butter! (This doesn't work with store-brand muffins though! You have to have the Thomas's!)

it at all. Mine look like they've been through a war zone when I'm finished.

Doesn't sound very safe.  I'll stick with my regular knives.  I used
to have an electic bagel slicer, though, that was quite handy.
Unfortunately, it went to bagel-slicer heaven, and I've not been able
to find the electric variety since then.   Jennifer
