The product, in the report: Electric Carving (Kitchen) Knife
Severe finger cut while inserting the blades into a Black & Decker EK700 electric knife. Insertion force is very high and the design of the blade guards which are small, streamlined and slippery, does not allow a firm grip on the blades. While attempting to push the blades into the knife body my hand slipped and the cut resulted. Directions were read and understood before attempting blade insertion. This is a very poor and very dangerous design. A similar issue exists for blade removal. The cut occurred when my hand slipped while attempting to push the blades in to the point that they locked in place. The knife was NOT plugged in when the incident occurred. In addition to this issues this product has another serious safety issue. The blade “trigger” which must be activated to use the knife is about the diameter of a ball point pen refill. It is too small to be easily activated with the same hand that holds the knife and using two hands puts the user in danger of cutting a hand or wrist when the knife activates.
