Electric knife didn't do it's job

Well, I made the Maple Orzo Squash, and it was great. But the electric knife didn't have the power to cut the butternut squash easily. I finally microwaved it for four minutes and it softened enough to cut. It was cool enough to de-seed easily and finish cooking in the oven.

A couple of days ago, I made Harvest Pot Pie, http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/9989?section=, and cubed the squash first. I pre-cooked it for four minutes, again, but still the knife had trouble, and the blades even slipped out. Oh well.

The one I want, that will probably work, is sonic, using sound waves to cut. But it's about $100 and I can't afford that just now. Looks great, though: http://www.sonicblade.com/ -- impressive, huh?
