“the C-200 looks like a standard chef’s knife until you press a power button on the side of the handle. According to the press release, those microscopic vibrations – which you can’t see, hear, or feel – create what the company calls a ‘nonstick’ effect”
(Emphasis mine)
Thoughts..?
Interesting tech and I can see uses, like people with hand movement issue but the price makes it just a curiosity to me. I guess this is the trickle down from industrial use but not sure anyone except a few would use it. I wonder if butchers and meat cutter would use something similar, a hand held industrial model.
gosh, something else to have a dead battery, just when you need it . . .
How will you know if you left it on after you are done cutting? Is the on/off switch placed where some grips or hand slips will push it? Push switches wear out faster than any other kind. How many on/off cycles before you have an expensive ordinary chef’s knife? How many recharge cycles before you have to buy a new rechargeable battery at what will obviously be an excessive price, if the company is still making them?
You’ll know when the neighborhood dogs stop howling.
Same way you know when it’s on at all, I guess, if you don’t see, feel, or hear anything: “trust me, bro.” Which begs the question in my mind, does the switch actually do anything at all?
Vecchiouomo Has a post up about this.
I am reminded of “Centrifugal Bumble Puppy” in Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”.
