As a professional baker, I can confidently say that this knife is all wrong for slicing bread. A serrated knife is the perfect tool to cutting up delicious bread. That smashed up slice was a baker's nightmare. Lol! 😂
Miss Scarlett All that proofing time for someone to just flatten it back out.
Miss Scarlett as a consumer of bread i can confidentally say you dont need to be a baker to know that bread isng meant to be squished

Lol! I know. I just wanted to point out how awful that knife was to the poor well made bread.
yes, you want to cut the bread a little at a time instead of all at once like this blade
Miss Scarlett As a german this doesn't seem to me like a well made bread. We have over 600 different breads in Germany and therefore I know what is good bread.
I've had mine for 3 years & absolutely love it. Still sharp & it also gives you fulcrum/mechanical advantage so I feel it takes less effort, even with frozen produce so it might help those with arthritis. Perfect for chopping small quantities for a smoothie/single serving snack etc & saves CLEANUP TIME!!! I also cut up veggies still in it's bag so it doesn't make a mess, especially broccoli. This is not meant as some ultimate kitchen gadget like in The Honeymooners; it cannot core a apple but it does slice cold hard butter into wafer-thin slices for easy spreading on toast. It's all about size of job, like in gardening you don't need a chainsaw when a handheld pruner is all you need. Inverse is true when you need to cut a tree limb. We have Wusthof knives & 5 different cutting boards for big jobs but a tiny kitchen so this is very convenient. Another major plus: it has a hole in the blade so I hang it on a hook for quick access. I've only cut myself twice with this but only while cleaning it, so now I ALWAYS use a brush, not a sponge.
You can imagine the confusion when I gave it to my barber for his birthday.
I could use that clever cutter as I have disabled hands and need my caregiver to cut everything but I could cut with this.
This thing is amazing. I purchased one not too long ago and wow has it made cutting up stuff easier.
If this made cutting stuff up easier, you have never used a decent knife....
I always wondered. It looked too easy. Thanks for the reassuring test/review.
thanks for the review, didn't really expect it to work on bread or the soft tomato but the other stuff I did.
you can buy from here lower Price :vanancy.shop/products/2-in-1-smart-cutter
I’ve got 2 of them and love them both! Only annoying thing is I’ve lost the red safety clasp and can’t close it for better storage.
it's GREAT for making hot chocolate because you can easily slice Hershey nuggets into very thin slices and instantly drop each slice of chocolate into the hot milk as you slice them
I have this and like it. I wouldn't think it would be good for slicing bread because it cuts not slices in a back and forth motion plus I use a serrated knife for bread. Love your videos...very fair and helpful.
Thank you! I do still use it for a few things, such as carrots.
I love and use mine almost daily. Have had it for about 3 years and it is still nice and sharp. And, you can cut just as much of your item (carrot , celery or whatever) as you would with a knife. I find it easier to use than a knife. The only things I don`t use it for that you used it for are tomatoes and bread.
Thank you I love your reviews! Reviews only work if a person is well rounded not biased has a good sense on things or if people are alike.
I love kitchen do-dads and I was almost sold on this until I realized how much of the food couldn't be cut in order to avoid cutting your fingers. Wouldn't you have to use a knife and a cutting board anyway so the rest of the carrot, celery, cheese, apple, etc. isn't wasted? I thought your video was great.
Good points, Tonia, and thanks for the compliment! I do use this regularly for cutting cheese, and sometimes carrots. You're right that the last bit of food is often too awkward to cut with this.
Tonia could use cut resistant gloves. About 8-10 online.
Tonia except for the apple which I never sliceI find it good for Carrots which ping all over the work surface with a knife and celery, also for cheese which I was dubious about at first. It's not a does all product but a worthwhile addition to the kitchen.
Love my clever cutter! Perfect for chopping my carrots, celery, green onions and whatever else I’m using to go straight into the pot for soup!
I use kitchen shears all the time for my herbs when cooking.. my husband got me this for Christmas. It doesn’t come all the way down to the little cutting board (as you saw with the tomato) but maybe I will try doing it faster snapping it next time.
I got one years ago and wore it out - I recently bought a new one. Yes - it is very good and comes in so handy when you are not a chef caliber chopper-upper. :-)
I live in Vegas also. Those look dangerous. There is no guard on it for the hand holding the vegetable. One slip and you can lose a finger. Note worth the danger.
i've never seen a scissor with a guard for the hand holding anything you are cutting...wire cutters, paper scissors...hair or sewing shears...
Tammy, you are correct. This product is made for cutting vegetables, meat, and bread. This items other than the bread will more likely have some type of moisture on them which will make them more slippery, that's all.
Lol Ive had one for a few years and still have all my fingers. In fact I let my (then) 8 year old use it and she never lost a finger, didn't cut herself either. Fear not :)
Using a chefs knife is so much easier anyways
NtheNow I feel it Daquan smart observation
maybe cut the tomato in half first so there isn't a skin side on the bottom.
That would definitely be a good way to cut tomatoes with this.
And then just continue using the knife... A well maintained chefs knife will be so much faster and accurate especially with tomatoes.
@Bold One You should only use a knife for Tomatoes and a proper bread knife for bread.
First off I want to say I love your videos you take the time to try all options unlike a lot of review videos I've seem! And that you do follow ups too! Anyway to the knife I think this seems like a 👍product, I knows this is an older video so how is it holding up? Before I buy one lol!
Great review! 👍
I live in a tiny apartment with literally no counter space, so this is a great tool to use when i want to cut something or chop without hauling out my cutting board. Also, i have arthritis in my hands, so this scissors motion is easier to handle.
Sandy Ell did you end up buying them, how easy were they to use because I have very small hands & I don’t know if my hands could apply a lot of the pressure he seems to need to use
Saw this in my mom’s draw for cooking utensils and was unsure of what it was. Thanks so much!!! Won’t have to toss it in goodwill box
Great Channel...just found it! One thing that might be fun to add to your videos is the original commercial for the product! You seem to reference actions happening in the commercial but if we haven't seen the commercial we have to go and look for it. If you put it directly before your review we would have something to reference and it would be fun to watch the commercial as well but otherwise great Channel I look forward to watching every video.
Hey there. I just learned a few months ago that in order to keep your french bread nice & fluff when you cut it, you have to turn it on it's side. I haven't found any where we're living right now to try this though.
My sister raved about hers and when I found a brand new one still in the box at a Goodwill, I was excited to try it. It’s thrown in my kitchen drawer and I never use it. I have Cutco knives and a cutting board so It’s way faster and I have better control using them instead.
Great product, thanks for the review. We bought one.
It works so good and quick, i clipped the tip of my finger of cutting food! Lol
In the event the knife gets dull does it pop open enough so you can sharpen it with scissor sharpeners? (e.g. samurai shark)?
I think two unexplored aspects are: 1. How long does it stay sharp (and can it be resharpened), and 2. Is it an improvement over a standard knife and cutting board?
I have one. I don't use it often because it just seems knives are quicker to use and clean. But it does work well.
Not a fair judgement without going thru to end of each item. With a knife you can cut the whole length of an item. I suspect this will fail.
That's exactly what I thought when I watched the review.
I really love your chanel, thanks alot man
Great review!
Nice review.Just what I needed.
Thanks for the Review ✌
I saw one on TV last year before Christmas. While in Wal-Mart I picked one up.
WOW ! I love it. It is what it is. if you try to cut bread use a bread knife.
I used to put the vegetables on the cutting board over the sink and use a long
knife. With the Clever cutter... It's just snap, snap, snap.
Actually what I do is cut the carrots in 1/3rs and put the 3rds in my Salad Chef with the big quare blades. Snap, Snap, Snap and slap down on the salad chef and all the vegetables fall into the big plastic salad chef bowl !
I then can put all the vegetables in my Power Pressure Cooker along with cubed pork steak for 40 minutes with two cans of cream of mushroom soup and it's fork tender. Boy does it taste good !
by the time I do all that I can take my sharp knife and it is done No reason to waste good money on something just because it is new
It works for me. It is what it is.
What bread is this? It look amazing! We have completely different one. I love this one much more.
How's the hand comfort, fatigue level with that thing? I use sharp shears for meat but I cut a good amt. at a time & bcuz different hand lay out than this product & more like scissors, it rubs on knuckle after a while & Is annoying. These being open unlike scissor handles interests me.
Although I'd never bother with this in the kitchen, I think that it would make a brilliant addition to the picnic or travel bbq set...no pre-cutting tomatoes, cheese etc or mucking around with bringing a chopping board and knife along.
The very best way to cut anything "smushy" like fresh bread or ripe tomato's is the good old electric knife which, for whatever reason, most people reserve for turkey day.
I wonder about sharpness after many uses. Have you had to sharpen it and how did it do thereafter?
So far I have not had to sharpen it, and I use it about once a week, usually for cheese.
Freakin' Reviews How can it sharp since it comes with chopping board?
Awesome music for the veggie close ups!
i wouldnt use this to slice bread but it works great to cut slice of bread in half... like if you have a larger slice than will fit in your toaster or want to take the crusts off... also on mine there is a little post molded into the plastic piece that locks the handle which prevents the tab from going back far enough to block the handle... maybe it was added or maybe yours broke off.
pretty cool product !
They should include a handle with spikes in it to hold your food with the other hand so that your fingers will not be near the clever Cutters at all but even so with that item you would still have a big leftover chunky piece
Maybe the Mk 2 will have slot in the base plate and the blade can travel pasted what you are cutting by a few mm ?
How long do those stay sharp?
Thanks for sharing this review. I have been using a good sharp pair of scissors in the kitchen for years. I thought everyone did until I grabbed them to cut pizza when I had company. The looks of shock and awe were quite surprising. Lol. If you want a great pair of scissors for the kitchen head to a place like JoAnn's Fabric or a craft store. You can find extremely well made, sharp scissors with great warranties. I've had the same pair for 20 years. 10 bucks, twenty years...it has paid for itself. I think you'd probably have to shell out 20 now.
Pat Stone I really enjoy buying a large number of kitchen doodads and can't resist knives of every shape or sizes until I found a multiple blade pair of scissors in a craft shop used for cutting paper. Had to buy it to chop herbs! Just love it.
my main issue with it that it only does one thing, which is to chop. No dicing, slicing, and other things a regular knife and cutting board can do.
I mean, sure, you can say it works, but personally, if you need something that's similar, the nicer dicer is a better thing IMO
I wonder how long that flat metal spring that makes it open and close will last over time.
That is a potential weak spot. So far it's still holding up.
forever probably
I've mine since march 2018. Looks good 5 months past and, my son uses it to cut pizza.
i bought this and sadly that flat metal spring broke after a month.
What about the second cut. Most of the time i cut potatoes i do more than cut rounds. Strips and cubes are more common. I take already cut pieces and put them together for cutting twice and thrice. Can you cut more than 1 layer of precut potatoes. Also what about apples cut into wedges. Can you do this review again?
I have one of those. Pretty dope.
Thanks to showing this review
The borne v slicer is my weapon of choice for slicing and dicing veg
Knife is ok but not great too close to the fingers , I’m looking for something I can take to work help me cut faster onions , any ideas
thnkx man..
It's brand new. What about sharpening the edge after a month of use?
My dad would have loved to have this in his truck for impromptu picnics!
What happens when the blade gets dull? Can it be sharpened?
A straight partial hollow grind blade like that would be very easily sharpened with any cheap pocket sharpener.
You seem to have had better results with this device than I did. I found it to be one of the most useless pieces of kitchen junk I've ever bought. I had much better results with a good knife (well sharpened) and a cutting board and the device sailed nicely into the dumpster from across my parking lot...
Your video is nicely done. It seems you are trying to be fair. What I can see is I would keep a good sharp chef knife, and a bread knife for the bread. The product is very limited just in the size of things it can cut properly.
I have one and I use it all the time to cut grilled chicken breast for my chihuahuas and it’s awesome to slice hot dogs up also!
Got one. Works alright. Thanks bra!
you can buy from here lower Price :vanancy.shop/products/2-in-1-smart-cutter
Great review of the points covered but you should do an additional review of how well it sharpens, how wel it cuts the end of the vegetable, etc. In any case, since I mostly chop my vegs rather than slice them, the product is of no use to me as a substitute for a cutting board and knife. Alas.
Definitely need a saw action for the bread. Uhhh, aren`t you supposed to slice the tomato in the opposite direction to make a slice? It is interesting.
I love the review, and it sounds as if you've answered all my questions regarding the Clever Cutter, but I do have one more question; why is your beard brown but your eyebrows blond?
I'm just kidding! Thanks for the review!
That's funny! You can't be an As Seen on TV guy without a big, dark beard. Just ask Billy Mays... well if you could. :-)
Should've tried jumbo pickles, I guess I'll try that one on my own.
I've had one of these for a while, but I've never really used it much
Mmmmmm
I think you can take off the bottom piece and use the blade as a knife too. Correct?
I got a brand new one with some excellent knives I bought in a yard sale. It is as close to useless as a kitchen tool can get. It will chop long veggies carrots, celery and parsnips but not much else. The problem is carrots often have a large end that needs to be quartered to have nice equal sized pieces. I want to toss it but my wife is a hoarder so it just takes up space in our kitchen.
actually I like this product, it's really helpful if you have a small space
Seems to be a handy gadget, only its blade is dull. Thanks for a great video.
Have you tried the deluxe version of these? German stainless steel
I have never seen the Deluxe version, but I would definitely like to try them out.
When you go to the link you provide you have an option to pick the German stainless steel which is supposedly the deluxe version.
What do you do with the food that you cut up
Most of it I put in Ziploc bags and ate throughout the week!
The way it cuts bread is perfect for soup
Honestly looks like a great product.
Bailey's fur makes a cameo at 8:20!
Bread must be "sawed" . Nothing better than a good breadknife.
So true, we have one with rounded serrations that doesn't crush the bread nor leave crumbs. It's also great for cutting styrofoam.
I have the chinese version of the clever cutter they show you can take it apart from the chopping board and use it as a knife
I was going to mention this! 15yrs ago or so I had something similar to this that came apart. The long blade on its own was razor sharp. It would have cut that bread no problem
My Mother worked at a tomato factory when she was young, there were quite a few fingers going missing. This thing looks dangerous on tomato's and I wouldn't take a chance losing my finger. Bread needs a good serrated bread knife.
I agree its a waste for bread and most kitchen stuff, I watched this on Crazy Russian Hacker and he cut mostly outside things like hoses and other stuff that is outside usage. Works well there. I think I'd pass for just veggies
Every week I set aside 2 hours to cut all my veggies and grate cheese for the week.
Naturally I perked when I saw this commercial, but I think my old knives are doing just fine the more I look up this product. I got the heeby-jeebies just watching you cut the tomatoes. D: It also seems like it offers less control on the size of the cut pieces. Yep...I'm fine with what I have. First world problems.
Hah yeah it definitely can't replace a set of knives. I use it almost exclusively to cut cheese.
Bread is supposed to be cut with serrated blade so ofcourse that straight edge wouldn't cut it without smashing it
I would be scared of cutting my finger on this
Pls tell brands name?
i just made broccoli soup and it was so easy with the brocoli
It could never work for bread. The tried and true way to cut a perfect slice is to turn your loaf upside down then cut using a serrated knife. This works because bread is much firmer on the bottom so when you cut it won’t compress quite as much.
I think it did poorly on the tomatoes. A lot of the seeds were squished out.
Seems it does really well on things that are firm all the way through, but if it's soft in the middle, it it gives before the blade can cut.
If this was a 2022 review I think he'd have tried a pair of regular scissors to see how they stacked up against something someone probably already had in their kitchen!
That's a perfectly shaped potato haha
There are just some things that you need a serrated knife for. Like the bread. That kind of cut will never work with bread. :D Thanks. I have this and it works great! :D
You're right. They probably shouldn't advertise is as being effective on bread, but it does work on quite a few things.
Freakin' Reviews .from where i can buy the original one . there r so many on amazon , so can you pls help me ?
The cheese was so satisfying
I have one but it didn't work for me!
The problem I've found with these is the spring mechanism breaks after a few months and I would have expected it to last a bit longer. Æ
my wife just loves it.....!!!
Isn't a knife much faster?
if youre a god on using knife yeah its faster
I just bought this product last week and it works as advertised. I is very sharp and I don't recommend this for kids or teenagers.
There is no safety mechanism to protect fingers. I recommend it for adults only!
Eh, I’ll just use shark gloves to protect my hands
I'll just use winter gloves to protect my hands
You mean, it's sharp? Like a knife? No way!
You know what they say
"Always run with scissors. That way you get to the spot quicker to set it down."
Damn now I can't prepare my famous tide pod salad.
i LOVE my clever cutter
that aounded out of contex
I also do not like when I have problems cutting cheese :)
I think most commenters are over-imagining the cutter's utility. Its good for easily mincing a pile of green onion or celery or other more comnducive produce. If you arent good with a knife you can fall back on your arts and crafts experience with scissors. If you can efficiently mince/chop with a knife this is a waste of money, however.
The bread was predictable. You don't really cut bread like that anyway, most people use a serrated knife and typically do something closer to a sawing motion.
Audio shut off at 8:20
with bread your not supposed to use a regular non serrated knife that’s why they make “bread knives”
