This is nonsense and your cynicism is unwarranted. I personally know Scott. He's worked on food tech in Seattle for decades, and developed the product and fundraised for Seattle Ultrasonics locally.

Ultrasonic knives are historically large footprint devices used in commercial/industrial food prep. The innovation here is making ultrasonic hardware compact enough to fit in the knife handle.

Sadly Howard Schultz moved the Ultrasonics to Oklahoma City a while back.

I was using ultrasonic scalpels back in 2002. They were smaller than this knife.

Were they standalone devices, or was the ultrasonic hardware in a separate enclosure connected by a cord?

Standalone but bulky, about as thick as a dry erase marker.
