🗡️ Ultrasonic knife enters the consumer kitchen at $400

Seattle Ultrasonics’ C-200 is now on the mass market, and Engadget reviewed it after a month of use. The knife costs $400, or $500 with the recommended magnetic wireless charger.

Inside the handle is a piezo element that makes the blade vibrate 33,000 times per second.

🔸 The effect reduces cutting effort by up to 50%.

🔸 The blade is triple layered AUS-10 steel with a 13° edge per side.

🔸 The knife weighs 328 g and runs about 20 minutes per charge.

Reviewers report cleaner cuts on dense foods like pork belly and tuna, with less sticking to the blade. It can overheat after 15+ minutes of continuous use and shut off briefly.

Ultrasound has moved from lab tech into premium kitchen hardware.
