Stellar Sabatier Carving Knife

The sharpest knife in the draw

Advantages: cuts very thinly and evenly
Disadvantages: carving style takes a while to get used to

I like my roast meat and poultry sliced very thin and always have a problem keeping my carving knives sharp enough so this is the reason I thought I would try an electric carving knife. Initially the problem I had was the change in slicing style. With an electric carving knife, instead or sliding the knife back and forth through the meat gradually working your way down, you place the knife in position and exert a gentle steady downwards pressure until the knife slices off the piece. The knife itself creates the back and forth motion with its blade. This is the most difficult transition as the tendency to move the knife in a traditional manner remains. The Breville EK2 isn?t my first electric carving knife; it?s a replacement for an old Russell Hobbs that had to be retired due to safety reasons. It was getting on in years ...

Review of Carve Her Name With Pride (DVD)

Well worth it

Advantages: Sharp, easy to use
Disadvantages: None

People don't understand how you can spend £30 on a knife. That's until they've seen one being used. The Boots branded knife is pretty low down on the Sabatier range, but unlike many knives I've owned, mainly stainless steel, this one gives you virtually a razor edge when you sharpen it, doesn't flex like really nasty knives and basically slices through most things like, well, a knife through butter. Yesterday, after a little while sharpening it, I found myself cutting through a chunk of frozen chicken. Can't say that for you £5 knife, can you? ...
