Hello I’m a software engineer for this knife! Kitchenaid’s newest model, the Ultrasonic Edge™! It is forged with self-healing nano-steel from Japan, the blade can automatically correct small edge imperfections over time, keeping it razor sharp longer than a traditional knife. The button on the handle cycles through several prep modes to assist in slicing and dicing. My favorite is heated mode which heats the blade to 28 C to assist in slicing frozen meats and vegetables. The knife occasionally receives software updates through its charging block, adding new cutting profiles and improving its internal motion sensors that track hand positioning and cutting rhythm. Tiny embedded LEDs along the spine glow softly to indicate blade temperature, battery life, or sanitation status after UV self-cleaning cycles. If you don’t have access to internet we can send you a usb device to install the software updates remotely. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Seems like it was just a few days ago I post an internet story about an over engineered toaster….

i'm so behind times... why would anyone need firmware for a knife though? like for real - what do you accomplish with it?

I just don't understand why anyone would buy something like this. I bought a few of those smart speakers, really only so I can voice control my hue lights and listen to music on them sometimes, but a knife? What the fuck usage does it add?

Internet of shit.

450euro for a ultrasonic vibrating knife.

I don't care if it's sharp enough to kill a god, it's still not worth it if it needs WiFi access.

What the hell are you people doing buying this crap in the first place?

Finally, a knife that needs Wi-Fi before it can cut tomatoes.

I've seen this knife on YouTube. It vibrate at ultrasound frequency that makes it sharper than the blade really is and the ingredients don't stick to it, or so they claim. If it really does perform as demonstrated, it's pretty cool, but still overpriced.

Every day we get a little closer
