First Ultrasonic Chef's Knife Vibrates 40,000X/Second for Easy Cutting


Seattle Ultrasonics' $399 C-200 promises to slash cutting force in half with blade vibrations that you can't see, hear or feel.

Seattle UltrasonicsThe brainchild of culinary engineer Scott Heimendinger, the C-200 looks like a standard chef's knife until you press a power button on the side of the handle. From there, microscopic vibrations -- which you can't see, hear, or feel -- create what the company calls a "nonstick effect" that powers the blade smoothly through even the densest ingredients and prevents food from sticking. Although the knife is not specifically designed for people with arthritis, a rep confirmed that "cutting with less force is indeed a benefit for anyone with limited mobility or reduced arm strength."
