The title kind of says it all. The blades move when it is turned on, but it won't cut a thing. I'm thinking the blades don't move enough? But generally I'm clueless. Ideas.
It's not particularly valuable, but I hate to trash it. Thanks, Sarah | ||

Replacement blades are about $15, but since you can get a new complete knife for about $20 it might not be the best solution.

I Love My Electric Knifes When I am carving Turkeys Etc, It makes it a lot easier to carve it nicely, [ and less dangerous for any guest nearby, LOL ]
As to recycling the old motor part just throw it in an old DW, Washer, Dryer etc destined for the scrap-recycling pile, the metal in the motor, copper in the cord should never be just put in a land fill.

I *think* I have an electric knife somewhere around here. Might have got it 20 years ago. Never use it. I'm in the "keep the cutting knives razor sharp" crowd.
As I recall, my electric knife came in a little plastic box. Damned if I know where it is. Perhaps shoved into the back of a cabinet or kitchen drawer. PS-I have read that electric knives do have a good use: cutting foam rubber into various shapes. | ||

I've got a GE that has to be 50+ years old and still cuts fine. Came with 2 sets of blades. short and long. I use it occasionally, for Thanksgiving I use it to cube up the bread for stuffing prior too toasting it in the oven.
If you can find a vintage GE set grab it. | ||
