It vibrates at an ultrasonic resonance so you can cut a whopping 50% lighter.

I bought one to keep in my Tesla Truck full of Ouya consoles.

Does the handle part vibrate too? Asking for a friend.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 1 points 53 seconds ago

Instructions unclear. Oh no.

[–] BigBrownDog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Your friend skills just but a vibrator. Or 50 at the price of this knife.

Your friend is a pervert. I like them.

Ouya

Whoa, deep cut

[–] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Can you feel it in your bones as you use it?

[–] BigBrownDog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I will never know

Help, I can't figure out what this is meant to say

[–] BigBrownDog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

50% less Newtons of force applied downwards as you cut through your food

Ya know what else helps? Sharpening the blade

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 50 minutes ago* (last edited 50 minutes ago)

If this were made in a way you could attach to any knife, I think it'd be cool. Sharpen your knife and add this module. I'm certain it's instead made to not detach, and you can only get the blade from them. If you sharpen it, you'll have to buy a new one from them at full price eventually. If they stop existing, it's just a dead product.

Seriously, just get a decent quality chef knife and stones to sharpen with.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

But, imagine if that knife also vibrated at an ultrasonic resonance!

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 1 points 3 hours ago

What anouy a vibrating sharpener? Then you can have mamy easily sharpened blades?

50% lighter

* compared to a hammer

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 5 points 3 hours ago

Vibroblades?! In this economy?!

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

A fool and their money are soon parted. No doubt the worst $400 knife you can buy.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 32 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Between the knife and expensive laptop I think whoever took the pic should invest in some common sense classes instead.

[–] SteveTech@aussie.zone 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That guy is a tech reviewer on YouTube, it probably makes for good content, and he may not have even bought it.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

So he's not only got no sense he's a douche too. Thanks for the community notes on that one.

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 15 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

This is one of those situations in which I want to talk some sense into people but then realize mid sentence that it's a lost cause.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Ultrasonic knives have been a thing in commercial kitchens for decades, I wonder where they get off claiming to be the worlds first US chef's knife...

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta link?

Quinn isn't particularly smart but my search engine nor is Wikipedia proving him wrong

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

This is the most common handheld style, there's all kinds of different blade shapes depending on application (god this company has poisoned the search results. SEO is a plague...) https://www.knmsonic.com/handheld-ultrasonic-food-cutter/

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

OK that's an ultrsonic knife, I'll trust that's it's two decades old but I'll argue that it's not even in the same ballpark as Quinn's knife

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Okay? Kinda hostile take for a stupid consumer product. It's literally just a transducer with a base station instead of a battery, that's the only difference besides a flashy case.

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

They're all unnessary/stupid consumer products, if they give you a pants tent I'm good.with either

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago
[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

I don't think anyone has called Quinn smart

[–] ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I hope he paid the subscription fee for the knife as well.
