Proctor Silex Electric Knife with Stainless Steel Reciprocating Blades, Model 74311PS

I have had the same knife for many, many, years. My kids tried it on a family party. They all liked it. Now they all have one of their own for Christmas. Very fast delivery.

Seems fine for a basic plug-in electric carving knife. I use it on craft foam and baked bread. Works well. Have not tried carving meat yet, but I expect the same good results. Walmart clerk at pick-up in Haymarket, Va was very helpful in locating my pickup order. I wish I remembered his name. A good ordering experience and the product seems like a good value for what I spent.

This is the third knife I've bought for our small restaurant. it works well on meats and some frozen food, My only wish is that it was rechargeable.

The blades are a not perfect to install

Good knife but hard to handle...its handle is too bulky. Blades are shorter than I thought but still useable. Wish Id tried another brand. But overall not bad for the price.

Shorter blades than the one I had before. Same handle, but blades about 2” shorter. Hard to reach through a bread guide set up for bread machine type homemade bread.

Blade isn't long enough and had a hard time slicing thru homemade bread. Have to buy a different electric knife with longer blades.

Thought Hamilton Beach Proctor Silex was a great brand however, this knife is a disappointment.The blade is skinny and appears to be rather flimsy.Haven't tried it out on a thanksgiving turkey yet but not very impressed so far

Two major problems: the picture, on line and on the box, are not the product that you get. The blades of the actual knife are considerably (about 3 inches) shorter than depicted. To assure myself I was not imagining something, I went so far as to count the actual teeth versus those in the pictures, and scaled the picture on the box. The blades are so short the knife is not useful for much other than cutting hot dogs into pennies for the grand children. The second problem is that the pressure required on the trigger switch to activate the knife is sufficiently great that it makes the knife difficult to use. A third problem is one I take responsibility for: the on line picture didn't show an electric cord and somewhere I thought I read that the knife was cordless. Cord firmly attached, not the manufacturer's fault, but mine for not assuring that what I wanted was what I got.

It does not cut very well
