I have an electric knife that we have used for many years. The only problem is ejecting the blades, very difficult. Is this true with this knife

My blades eject easily by popping the eject button I personally have had no problems with either model in that respect.

not difficult at all. slightly push the button and instantly releases. I have had other knifes before and this is far the best one I have ever had and hopefully no need to purchase another.

I have never had a problem with mine. My old Hamilton beach was another story.

It's easy to eject the blades. We've had several elec knives over the years & it's the best we've had. Don't really like the stand. We don't want to keep it on the counter so would rather have it in a box but otherwise we really like it.

I haven't had any problems, but I haven't used mine much. It's not the best quality knife I own and I could see where the locking mechanism would malfunction and become a problem.

I used my electric carving knife with no problems. The most difficulty is trying to keep the knife parallel or perpendicular to the foam.

There is a distinct click when I sheath the blade. & by far one of the tights hugs on a blade I have. I have turned the knife upside down on mine & shook it several times without it falling out.

I haven't. I haven't been using it very heavily, but this is a very big knife. I don't see it being a problem unless you throw it at something or stab something harder than wood

Are you pressing the knife hard into the sharpener? It only requires light pressure. I've had mine for over a year and used it at least a dozen times so far without any issues.

I've only used it a few times but haven't had this problem. It's true what others say, the motor is not super strong but it is adequate if you press lightly. Does the motor start running again if you lift up the knife? If not then it is defective.

I treat my knives very carefully and haven't had that problem. This one is new, but I bought it as a replacement for one that was 15 years old, not because it wasn't like new, but because someone who shall remain nameless (husband) accidentally threw it away.

I have not had a problem with the trigger switch. I have filleted both smaller and larger fish so far with no problems. works great. I have all different blades that come with it and have had no problems. Works just as great slicing meat as it does fish.

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.

It's not too bad at all. I just tried it. The lever works in such a way that you don't need to pull both sides at once. You can pull the lock with your thumb and then close the blade with your other hand or against your body. On knives with heavier blades, or on knives that have loosened up a bit the blade may fall as soon as you depress the lock.

Paul, Admittedly the knife was machined blade to 'spring' to tightly - mine is tight also. I could/can open mine even with mild arthritis in my thumb. I would use a small drop of WD 40 on each blade joint and work it a number of times, it should loosen.

I have only had that happen once. My husband tightened the wire and handle and now I take special care not to turn the handle as I'm slicing the cheese. I have not had any problems since. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

I don't think you have it pushed in all the way- it took me a while to figure out that unless there is a little "Click", the blade is not as far in as it needs to be for safety and stability. Makes it really hard to take it out-strong fingers needed but that's how it has to be. And this applies to all the blades. They click into place and once they have clicked, you can slice like crazy without any problems. Are you loving your slicer? We have been camping in a rental for a year and just moved into our "forever" home last weekend and have really missed our slicer. It will be a while before we unpack it but that will make the reunion all the better, I think.

You can loosen it up some .. Mine was tough at first but I kept snapping an unsparing it works fine now !!! I went to a kydex sheath wich is very nice !! The sheath that came wth the knife is nice to but the kydex is the way to go !!!

That would happen of the bade is too tight. A little bit of loosening up and a spot of oil does the job but I find that the initial groove does not hinder the knife opening later. This is because it is not an assisted opening and kept quite tight.

I didn't have a problem with that specific knife. But with another laguiole I did have problems opening and closing. I sent it back after taking it to a jewelry shop to close it for me.
