They're great for destroying cutting boards. And if you prefer wood/plastic shavings in your food.

Uh, you are not doing it right. Never had this issue.

I just buy what ever is on sale on Black Friday. We replace every other year. Its about $15.

Thanks for the link! I'll definitely do my own research but I haven't seen one in-use in many years and was hoping someone had a newish one with specific features to either look for or look out for. Maybe I'll have to find one and report back.

Ease of cleaning is an important attribute. Thanks for mentioning it.

Yep! This is the only time I remember seeing the thing: turkey carving. My gram's was probably a long-discontinued model too. They're useful though, and I think it's time I find one instead of fighting with roasts, turkeys, and the Christmas ham.

This is how I remember my gram's! I'm afraid you're right; they don't make 'em like they used to. Do you have a brand or model name, or is it well worn off?

No. I'm disabled in a way that makes that exhausting and painful. I know, because I do know how, have done, and am tired of hurting myself so some ableist dipshit on DCUM can derail a thread.

Sit down, be quiet, and try not to choke on your holiday meal, jerk.

Wow. So sad. Good luck to you.

Likewise. Enjoy your curse!

'Tis the season for carving meats. This year, I'm channeling my grandma and buying an electric carving knife. Who even remembers what ancient relic brand she had...

Tell me about the one you have and love, or the one you had and hated.
