Specialty Knives Reviews

I bought one of these after using one in the caffeteria at work. Then I bought another after my mother took the first one!

Possibly inspired by the French revolution, the Bagel Biter borders on overkill - but you can't question it's effectiveness. Drop in a bagel, drop the blade, start schmearing cream cheese. It's very quick, very safe (if you can figure out how to hurt yourself with this, you're too smart for that nonsense in the first place) and very easy to clean. It's nonstick blade should cleave every conceivable bagel in your life.

It misses 5 star perfection on account of messiness - its straighthrough design deposits crumbs right on your countertop. A crumb catcher of some sort would be the garlic spread on the potato bagel :-)

I've found this Bagle Biter to be a dual action tool. One that slices without dicing and also serves a stress buster after that rough mornin' commute. Never once known to fail and like those watches, it takes a lickin,' and keeps on splitin'those bagels each morning.

We use one of these at work, and it is the best thing to use to cut bagels safely. When I saw this online at such a great price, I had to have one myself. I don't know how many times I've cut my fingers using regular knives to cut bagels! This holds the bagel for you, and all you do is push the blade through the bagel. The blade is sharp enough to easily glide through with one push. It is great! If you've gotta have a bagel, make sure you've got the bagel biter!

Cutting pizza works best when you can quickly apply a lot of overhead leverage to cut through the crust so that cheese and topping don't have much chance to stick to the knife before lifting it to make the next cut.

The problem with a rolling cutter is that it's difficult to quickly and evenly apply much pressure with one hand as it rolls over the uneven, steaming hot sticky cheese and toppings. After the first rotation of the disk, you'll often end up with more cheese stuck on the cutter than left on the pizza, making it even more difficult to cut all the way through the crust.

There are a few minor problems with this rocker knife, though. It's too small to cut the entire diameter of a larger pizza in a single cut, so it's a bit more work than it could be for 12 inch and larger pies. The handles don't lend themselves to applying as much force as I'd like because the blade could flip on its side while cutting without reserving some effort to prevent it from doing so. The knife can't hang from an overhead rack unless I drill a hole in it myself. But these minor gripes wouldn't force me to go back to using a rolling cutter. I've used commercial pizza cutters that work better, but this represents a great value for home use compared to the typical rollers.

I won't use regular pizza cutters anymore; I either use a cutter styled like this one or a REALLY big knife. This cutter allows a person to put pressure on the crust without messing up the rest of the pizza.

Throw out the old style cutter and get one like this!

Our family would probably not be classified as true pizza aficionados thus I never gave a thought to a "professional" pizza cutter. We've just been going along with whatever knife was handy - usually breaking the crust and creating long strings of cheese.

Then our mother's group was called to serve pizza to a bunch of hungry teenagers. Happily, my friend who was in charge of the event knew alot more about slicing pizza than I did - she brought along LamsonSharp Pizza Rocker Knives. Glad to say the event went well, the kids were happy, and the pizza was sliced quickly, evenly, easily, and cleanly.

The next day I bought one of these knives for myself. Who knows, we may even eat pizza more often.

The knife is very difficult to hold on to and press the button, it doesn't fit the hand very well at all. The knives are very sharp, but not long enough to slice through a small roast. Should be ok for bread.

This is the first electric knife I've ever used, so I can't compare it to any others, and not sure I'll ever try one again.

After having had a CORDLESS electric knife that finally bit the dust, this was very unwieldy. The worst part of this knife was that the blades were too short, as I've notice on most electric knives.

I just purchased this and fell in love! A lot of knife for a little cash!
