    The quality of the photo made me think the price tag was on my phone.  I tried to touch it...

    Looks like a muscled up cheese slicer.  I would pass as the shape and fat cap of a brisket doesn't lend itself to a consistent thickness of cut.  Real life application may be different for all I know.

    A good knife will be much better.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Even a bad knife, I would guess.

    I have one. It sucks. Use a knife. I actually bought it for skinning Pork bellies and it works well for that. It actually works ok on brisket fat caps as long as it's very cold. I find myself using a knife anyway

    Look like shaker lids for rubs/spices.

    I googled for the instructional video and honestly it looks like the guy selling them is having more trouble with it than I do with a $5 knife...and I am not that good with a knife. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Yeah- he's from Hawaii and does "so many briskets" he needed a way to do them faster. It is not faster. Does work on cold bellies pretty well but I still prefer a $5 dexter plastic handled trimming knife

    I think they were for crushed red pepper. The red part was rubberized and oddly satisfying to mess around with. (And it wasn't even Friday night yet!)

    Funny, my first thought when I saw it was whether it would work on pork bellies. How does it handle the belly being wider than the slicer? It looks like it could bind a bit. It does look like it might be a bit easier following creases in the skin and varying heights of the belly than the old sideways knife.
