OT Electric carving knife use method

I have been fighting this electric knife for two years since I got it as a gift.
it seemed way uncomfortable trying to finger pull the start button while pishing the knife..

Today carving a bird I flipped it upside down and pulled the start button with my thumb.. It worked like a charm.

"Cooks Country" did a review on them.

Wonderful for cleaning fish also. Much faster than a fixed blade knife.

The maintenance man came by and screwed down a piece of pipe and pipe flange so the entire blade was covered (he was a wise ass). The safety guy came back to check on it and asked how it worked and we assured him all was a ok
