Hot Butter Knife

Like a hot knife through butter

A metal butter knife, with a plastic handle.
Insert batteries into the handle, flick on the heating element, and butter till you can butter no more.
To include a thermostat, so the temperature can be adjusted to cope with every imaginable butter scenario.
Also slightly more effective against intruders and abusive husbands!

(??) Quite baked. Here's one of several... http://164.195.100....758&RS=PN/5,438,758

       Don't turn it on until you start buttering or the butter will slip off.   

       Is it dishwasher safe?

       Probably not [desert], but it would be easy enough to clean.
I suppose a waterproof version could be made...

       Does that have a thermostat [ldischler]?
Also I'd advise you not to [MFD] on the grounds of baked, as there are a few about who will make your life a misery (i'm not one of them... just trying to save you the aggro and a few fishbones).
Widely known to exist? Well if so i've never seen one, but i don't doubt they exist...
One for the moderators i suppose!
  

       Touche [l3], touche.

       Oh please. A hot butter knife is so baked it’s a cliché. Putting a battery and a thermostat in it is...well, I’m just amazed that the PTO issued a patent on it.

       Yea, wait 'till the kids get their hands on that one. Parents are already scared enough when their children hold a regular knife, now there is one that can burn them too? Sorry but you are asking for lawsuits.

       I disagree with the "marked-for-deletion" tag. I don't think self-heating butter knives are widely known to exist.
