On the look out for a electric knife that would cut frozen meat with bones without having to defrost it first.
I have tried one from Severin, but that didn't work for me as I wanted.
Greatly appreciate help on this.

Hi There,
If it's properly thick bones, then no. Butchers use manual hacksaws to cut through bone or a giant, table mounted saw that costs (tens of) thousands).
A chainsaw wold be good for that, normal e-knives just don ́t ́cut ́ it.
Don ́t know what you want to cut but now and then I have been known to use a bosch DIY jig-saw thingy with a large tooth blade on frozen stuff.
Looking to cut chicken and red meat.
Put it in the microwave for 30 seconds then cut with a regular sharp knife.
I was looking for the knife in the first place, the avoid putting back a portion of the defrosted meat back into the freezer. With the knife, I was mainly hoping to cut down the cooking time, especially during week days. Ideally I look for cutting a piece of frozen meat and putting it directly into the wok!
Instead of a knife, I would recommend getting one of those meat slicers/bread cutters that you sometimes see in delis - some examples in the following link: http://www.chefknivestogo.com/foodslicers.html
I freeze meat and use these machines to thinly cut beef for Asian fondue. It is better than buying the frozen ready prep meat because I can determine the quality of the meat that I serve. I am not sure about the bone part but I have found the machines to be quite effective with frozen meat.
Any of the interdiscounts, home appliance stores should have at least a small selection.
Good luck.
I use a Zwilling meat cleaver - goes through anything like butter .
They cost around CHF 120 and are worth every rappen.
Pic above is for reference only - I got mine in Manor.
Thanks very much. Did a quick google search, but couldn't manage to find a source in Europe, where I can buy it. Would keep trying.
Thanks very much. It appears to me that it is a non-electric knife. I would go for it, if it can slice a 2-inch frozen meat. Didn't manage to find it on Manor online store.
