JOHN!!!! My mother had used an electric knife to carve turkey one year when I was a kid and nearly took her finger clean off. I will never forget how terrified I felt and will never use one because of it to this day!

All this being said...I dont see why anyone would want one if they have a good quality fillet knife and keep up on the sharpening of it. I also think you would have better "feel" on a regular knife for working along the backbone.

Simplify.......
