In theory. In practice that weight will get stuck in the handle heavy position.I suppose there could be a situation where being able to change the balance would be useful. Handle heavy for fast chopping, blade heavy for precision tip work. Dunno if their invention is the best implementation....

To convenient.Bluetooth my friend, Bluetooth or it's not IN you know...
"Just chilling in a knife block right now. Lights are off. The refrigerator has been eyeballing me. Could just be Joses's Mom's photo."I'd love to have a knife that updates my Insta for me automatically.
No diamond coated edge??Where's the integral UV light? I want sterilization capabilities. No Sale
while deboning a turkey?Anyone ever mounted a miniature gopro to a knife blade for some hi octane dramatic prep footage?
All these good for all, change balance, etc never work well. They only make sense to people who don't use knives much. If you use a knife you get used to it or you pick a knife that works for you. No one in their right mind would change balance of a knife in the middle.
You are imagining situations that never or rarely happen. This is a classic example of a solution looking for a problem.Don't knock innovation! I have no illusions about the knife under discussion, but I can imagine situations where it might be convenient to change the balance mid prep. It's no different than starting with a choppy knife and then switching to a more detail oriented knife. It'd be interesting to see whether you could make a single knife perform both functions -- probably it wouldn't work as well as switching knives, but say you only had room on your table for one? I don't know.
Anyway, it's a useless innovation for KKF members because we have so many knives and enjoy switching between them.

Innovation is a hugely important aspect of knife making! Although, I can't see much utilitarian value in this knife's innovation.
New steels, new profiles, new polishing techniques, new aesthetics, new handle materials, help keep the knife market from getting too stagnant and boring IMO.
Absolutely, but...
I don't know how it has come to this, but everyone's knee jerk reaction against it makes me want to defend the idea even more, even though I certainly wouldn't buy the knife above.
My only point is that sometimes, I'll have a blade heavy knife that I really like for push cuts and for tip work, and then suddenly I'll want to rapidly chop a cucumber, and I'll switch to a more neutrally balanced knife. If instead of switching, I could change the balance on the knife, I might actually use this feature! I don't know. And neither does anyone else here, because they haven't tried it. Of course, it'd have to be some impossibly tasteful version of what's above, and would probably be really impractical costwise vs just switching knives. But cost ineffectiveness are KKF's middle names. Where's your sense of adventure, everyone?
