Description

That is It's So, this This is the world's first ultrasonic chef's knife, and I had to try it. So, I got my hands on it. This is the knife, and it's actually sitting on a magnetic wireless charger because it's battery-powered. So, I get the idea. You hold down this button, and the handle will send shock waves through the knife blade at 30,000 times per second as I hold it. And then you can see it's working when this light is on. But, I'm holding it right now, and I can't feel anything. I actually can kind of hear it a little bit. But, here's a really good visual. Ready? Just going to take some water, put it on the blade. Oh. The sounds that makes is crazy. So, clearly it's work It's doing something. So, let's see about cutting stuff. I'm going to try cutting first without turning it on. Pretty reasonable. Okay. Let's try it on. Okay. I got to try the baguette thing though cuz that looked the most impressive, especially cuz this is not a bread knife. It's not serrated. So, no ultrasonic. Okay. I wouldn't be mad at that, but let's try ultrasonic now. Okay. Okay. Okay. Check it out. This is a grape. I feel like most knives wouldn't do that. So, it's not magic. It is $400, so it feels like maybe it should be like magic. But, the way they describe it is it's like a pedal-assist e-bike versus a regular bike. Just makes it a little easier, but maybe you're more after the sound effects cuz that's crazy.

This short video presents a bold, attention grabbing test of what is pitched as the world’s first ultrasonic chef’s knife. The creator demonstrates a battery powered knife that charges on a magnetic wireless pad, and claims that holding down a button causes the blade to emit ultrasonic waves at a staggering 30,000 times per second. The on-video demonstration emphasizes sensory cues: the light indicator shows when the ultrasonic function is active and a faint sound is perceptible as the knife operates. The host first cuts with the knife turned off to establish a baseline, then switches on the ultrasonic mode to compare results, highlighting that the baguette is sliced more easily and with less traditional effort. A grape is shown as a close up test to illustrate precision and cutting ability, and the host frankly notes the device costs around $400, implying that while not magical, the product aims to offer a novel, pedal assisted feel for home cooks or tech enthusiasts. The overall tone blends curiosity with skepticism, acknowledging the novelty and the potential appeal of the design while questioning whether the price aligns with the utility. The video ends with a sense that the sonic feature is impressive to witness, even if outcomes are not universally extraordinary, leaving viewers weighing the balance between novelty and practicality.
