Kenwood Electric Carving Knife

Kenwood Electric Carving Knife

I first bought an electric knife to facilitate cutting terrines - recommended by my French cooking magazine. The Kenwood is OK for this, but makes heavy weather of anything else. I have tried it on bread - it does not like crisp top crusts, won't grip, so I turn the loaf upside down, and needs pressure ( allegedly unnecessary) to get to the bottom of the loaf. I have tried it on meat and poultry - rather a ragged finish. I think the blades are too thick a structure, and on the short side to deal with a cottage loaf or a whole ham. A frozen food blade was mentioned in the brochure enclosed but not included.
It is very noisy. No star really.
This was not my first electric knife, that one was purchased for the terrines, and got blunt eventually, but it was very cheap and I hoped yours would be better. It is exactly the same.

We bought this knife to replace our previous one which, after five or six years, had come asunder; as in the rivet that connects the blades had broken. We were otherwise very happy with it.
My sister and two brothers also use this make and model of knife.
Unfortunately for us, we hadn't made the previous purchase from Lakeland, or perhaps we would have been easily able to get replacement blades.

The knife cuts fairly well but rather light weight. Also blades sometimes do not lock in. The product needs to be more robust but their appears not to be many alternatives.
