    I’ve seen this knife on YouTube. It vibrate at ultrasound frequency that makes it sharper than the blade really is and the ingredients don’t stick to it, or so they claim. If it really does perform as demonstrated, it’s pretty cool, but still overpriced.

      If all it does is vibrate why does it need a firmware update?

        The incredibly silly true answer is that the software industry’s love for “deploy early, deploy often” has led to all embedded devices shipping with over-the-air (OTA) update support even when it barely makes sense. The earliest units of a given product run will ship with a minimally viable product build that has lots of bugs, but solid OTA.

        Fun anecdote: I had a TV backlight die after about 3 years, and the root cause was a shitty embedded app that incorrectly regulated the voltage for the LED strips.

        It doesn’t…

        But the kind of people who are impressed by a vibrating knife are also likely to be impressed by the ability to update firmware. They don’t know what firmware DOES, they just know it’s modern.

      This is good as an accessibility device for people who have trouble doing the proper circular knife cutting motion, but if you can use the proper technique without trouble, it is not really much better or worth the cost.

      source
      • WoodScientist@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I don’t see accessibility as the main benefit. I see reduced need for sharpening. Yes, you can always sharpen a knife, but it’s not as easy as people pretend. And it’s another chore you have to do.

        source
    • ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I doubt the vibrations would do anything to make it cut better, but to make thi gs not stick you could also just put little dimples on the side like tose of a santoku knife. So goofy.

      source
      • NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        People freak out over the dimples because it means that some day they won’t be able to sharpen the knife anymore.

        Which ignores that once you are even two millimeters worn down it is probably time to get a new knife regardless due to ergonomics and the like.

        And yeah. Vibrations only make sense if you are sawing through food. That is why those electric carvers are genuinely amazing and worth grabbing if you are hosting a big roasted meat party (e.g. American and probably also Canadian Thanksgiving). Non-serrated blades don’t do that. If you need to saw through your food with a chef’s knife then you should have sharpened that years ago. And if you actually CAN saw through your food with the chef’s knife, odds are the blade is so fucked up that it is not salvageable to begin with.

      Stuff sticks to knives because they are flat. They need to have dimples for stuff not to stick. Even with ultrasonic vibrations things will stick because things are elastic and sucktion.

      I doubt this knife has the power for its vibrations to make a meaningfull difference in cutting.

      That’s my opinion at least.

      source
      • herrvogel@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Ultrasonic vibrations have been successfully used to make cutting tools more effective for a long time. It doesn’t make the cutting edge sharper or amplify the force, it just moves it back and forth slightly, in microscopic imitations of a cutting motion. That does work. Though at the end of the day it won’t magically make a dull knife sharp.

        Ultrasonic vibrations have also been successfully used to get shit off of surfaces for a long time too. It is a common and effective method. Though it usually involves a bit more than just shaking the thing, but still…

        Theoretically this knife could very well do both of those things. Probably not well enough to be worth 425 dollars, but probably entire useless either.

        source
      • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Even with ultrasonic vibrations things will stick because things are elastic and sucktion.

        Eh, perhaps not.

        Ultrasonic vibration causes tiny cavitation bubbles to form at the interface between metal and liquid, and then those bubbles collapse a tiny second of a fraction later … quite violently. If it’s well designed, then it should clean stuff off of itself just like materials you put in an ultrasonic cleaner.

        But these cavitation bubbles are strong enough to eat away at the metal itself as well. I expect this knife might not actually last very long if you use the vibration a lot.

        This test: www.youtube.com/shorts/PTd98UnJnnU looked fairly objective to me. It’s kinda cool, but not as impressive as most demonstrations (probably shills or “official”) make it out to be. It certainly didn’t pass through the crust of that baguette much cleaner with the vibration on.

    • ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      It does work and it is super cool from any videos or info I watched on it. Because metal is flexible, the size, length, thickness, and weight of the blade all gave to be taken into account in order to get a vibrating frequency that works. If you ever watch videos of this or ones like it (this is the only good working home use kitchen knife I know if) it’s pretty bad ass, if for nothing else than just for how anti stick it is. I’m still not willing to pay like $400 for it. I’m a big knife sharpening and cooking guy, but I don’t think I’ve paid over about $50 for any of my kitchen knives or over $230 for a pocket knife. Now if I ever wound up seeing one of the Seattle ultrasonics somewhere new or used and still looking good for under $200 I’d probably break down and buy it. Blade stick is pretty annoying when you want to cut something very consistently and not spend a bunch of time to do it.

      This knife is expensive, but actually pretty badass. It’s an ultrasonic frequency knife and the only non commercial use chefs knife I know of that does it and works. It cuts with no effort, but really the biggest perk is that absolute fuck all will even try and stick to the side of the blade. Still to richy rich for the benefits, but it is cool tech.

    Hello I’m a software engineer for this knife! Kitchenaid’s newest model, the Ultrasonic Edge™! It is forged with self-healing nano-steel from Japan, the blade can automatically correct small edge imperfections over time, keeping it razor sharp longer than a traditional knife. The button on the handle cycles through several prep modes to assist in slicing and dicing. My favorite is heated mode which heats the blade to 28 C to assist in slicing frozen meats and vegetables. The knife occasionally receives software updates through its charging block, adding new cutting profiles and improving its internal motion sensors that track hand positioning and cutting rhythm. Tiny embedded LEDs along the spine glow softly to indicate blade temperature, battery life, or sanitation status after UV self-cleaning cycles. If you don’t have access to internet we can send you a usb device to install the software updates remotely. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
