Black & Decker EK700 Slice Right, $15
Lowdown: It may not look heavy-duty, but the brand name gave us high hopes. Bird buzz: The Slice Right ripped our bird rather than slicing it, leaving us cuts of meat with jagged ridges. So we made our guests eat with their hands. Primal!
Cran jam: Bouncing back from its turkey trouble, this blade showed its brawn, cleaving the lid of our canned cranberries in just 70 seconds.
Tree trim: Need to get that unwieldy tree in shape? Our maniacal tester sawed through the trunk in 15 minutes, cackling the whole time.
Verdict: “Looking for an electric knife for carving everything but a turkey? This could be your weapon,” says our tester.
