Title: Needs tight grip
Product review: I have used the knife on both meat and bread and found it to work very well. My complaint is with the lock and trigger. The lock which is a matter of pushing a pin to one side of the trigger is annoying, but doable. The trigger, however, requires a tight squeeze to stay activated. Keeping the trigger from 'locking' again isn't the issue for me, and holding the trigger in the down position isn't enough, you have to squeeze hard to keep the knife going. We're talking 15 seconds before my hand is cramping and and if I re-grip to alleviation the cramp in my hand, that stupid trigger lock pops out. Having to hold it in the awkward position required to keep that trigger squeezed tight enough compromises the control of the knife blade. I like performance of the knife blades, but can't recommend it for anyone without a super-strong grip or a lot of patience.
