I have no idea how good they'll be, but I'm in for three sets. At least two will go in the ever-growing Christmas gifts box. No one gets personalized gifts anymore; they all get Meh.
My cheap Ginsus are about a year old now and they're getting mighty dull. For $9, totally worth it.
I tested one of these out and by "tested out" I mean "cut up a piece of leftover naan bread I had on the back table", but still it felt nice and sharp.
@JonT Heck, yeah! Any free is good free. Tax free is nice. Maybe lunch catered to the office on Fridays, or all the coffee and kolaches you can consume would be good, too.
@blndfayth@blndfayth these feel good. They're $9! I also have a real knife, but I like having a set that I don't need to treat super well like my Shun.
I bought a set of similar knives a few years ago. They were wonderful, but so sharp I bled for weeks. I wish these cheap sets still had a nakiri. In for one anyway.
This is the kind of deal I love on Meh. The knives I have right now are so embarrassing that even this rainbow color set is a huge step up. Actually, I don't mind colorful knives at all. They're rather cute.
Well that was another fast sellout in less than 30 minutes. Probably a good thing I came here late tonight. Would not have been able to resist. That would have a been a first for me - two meh deal days in a row. Phew, that was close!
@RedOak I'm starting to suspect there's some money laundering scheme Meh has involving knives, but can't quite figure it all out. Even Occam would have to admit there's no reason random knives sell out so quickly so often without some sort of foul play going on.
Meh - why the feeding frenzy for junk knives? At least they're bright, fun colors for the kids - almost as great an idea as pills shaped like cartoon characters.
@justjking Check out Rada for nice, super inexpensive knives made in the good old U S of A. I bought some through my nephew's school fundraiser and was pleased.
@brentnice I would assume that they knew this was a great price for a good product, and they snatched up as many as they possibly could.. That's like looking to someone who bought the last one of the sets last night, and saying "why didn't you buy more?"
@kadagan a seller buying more for resale and a consumer buying more for personal use is hardly a comparison. It looks like meh bought 1,000 units. That's alot. But meh is smart. They know based on past sales of similar products how quickly something will sell out. So what's the point of posting a product they know will sell out in less than an hour? Which goes back to my original point, that they should have bought more of these knives so more consumers could have had the chance to purchase them instead of looking at a "Sold Out" icon all day.
@brentnice But if the distributor that meh bought from only offered them 1000 of these, and meh saw a chance to make a decent profit (and knew they would sell out, and not be a waste of their money), then I don't see how you could blame them. In this case, they bought what was available, and sold them all at a more than reasonable price.
If the distributor said "we've got as many of these as you could possibly want!" I would assume that meh would see the value in them and buy a larger quantity.
Thats twice this week i slept through the 20 minute sales event , nice deal MEH. just wish you would stock properly so more ppl. can get in on the deal is it a great practice to leave so many customers left out of the deal? Dosent inspire good thoughts about the buyers at Meh ..still love the site though so its mixed emotions ..simple concept buy more sell more ..bet you could have sole 5000 of this item ..
@OldCatLady My husband offered to paint parts of the AR he's building for me purple, so that's kind of close. But, I don't think Meh will sell that. Maybe they'll sell the paint!
@PurplePawprints It scanned, so I used it, but other things would work too. I think a purple poetry thread would be a good idea. Haiku, limerick, clerihew... Hey, @sohmageek, do you need another contest idea?
I get up pretty early for work. 1 a.m. C.S.T. or daylight time, central zone. That saving time crap is confusing. At any rate, by the time I get to work, get settled in, get my people motivated (so anti-meh), and get online to see what's on meh, if the offering is any good at all IT'S ALREADY GONE. WTF MEH. I mean, srsly. I pay the VIP religeously, because, pimped out socks are totally worth $60 a year. Only a fool would argue that point. amirite? Of course I am. All I'm saying is: If it's about to sell out by 2 a.m., it's worth the hype. So please, for the love of god, Meh. For everything that's HOLY. If it's about to sell out, SAVE ONE FOR ME, I'LL PAY FOR IT, I SWEAR TO GD CTHULU OR WTF EVER YOU GUYS WARSHIP.
@TheStas Also, I want to bang the chick with the plastic scimitar, because chicks with plastic scimitars deserve a good banging. Who can refute my logic?
Long live the most glorious knife salesmen to ever rule the land! I wonder how much hate mail you're going to get when (stupid) people find out that the swashbuckling sword is not part of the package though, hah!
I am on my way to talk to the Doctor, and he will arrange to have bought me some before they sold out, because he can do that. Anybody want to come with?
@LaVikinga Of course. We may be gone awhile, but you won't notice it. I don't know what the changes will do to the 'total' sold, but maybe that explains why some people never get their orders. The meh customer service people do their best, but sometimes orders just disappear.
@peaceetc One of my Fukubukuru boxes included a complete set (36 colors, I think) of containers of Play-Doh. I had no idea such a thing existed, but I realized that my great niece Maddy (a little over 2 years old) might possibly enjoy it. From what her mom said, it's a tossup who got a bigger bang out of Meh's Fuku treat: the old fart great aunt who sent it along to Maddy, or Maddy herself, who couldn't quite believe that there was that much Play-Doh in the world, and that it was all hers. I have the feeling that Meh is responsible for insane happinesses like that over & over again.

@Stallion I think you need to take another stab at it
@Stallion yes great deal any way you slice it!
@lichme Dice
@Stallion HEY!
Cut it out.
This thread is definitely on the chopping block
Not the sharpest one in your drawer, eh?
Are these Wesley Snipes approved?
@JonT On "edge" after being on Periscope???
@Stallion you are a cut up
@AttyVette You make a good point!
@Stallion The purple knife is obviously a cut above the rest.
@Stallion i took a stab at it!
I call that sweet scimitar for Team Hollboll, plastic utensil officially stolen
@Lotsofgoats team @MEHcus will cut you, man! Just let us borrow your knife.
@jaremelz this is unfair cuz your plastic utensils are actually metal :(
@Lotsofgoats you mean my tiny forks? Dems plastic!
@Lotsofgoats briefly acquired before @moose broke/stole it.
This counts as a victory for Team @Moose.
team @Moose only gets immoral victories
@hollboll it's been recaptured.
You guys need to clean up around there.
@marklog I was going to say something about that mainly just being @Moose's desk, but then I looked at my own and…
yeah, glass houses and such.
@JonT you forgot the butthole surfer sticker
@jont nice to see the lube made it home.
It's really is mostly just my desk though. My workspace is a wasteland.
@Moose That's why I fit in so well with Team Moose.. my desk is pretty damn bad too..
Ooh! Perfect for any home with toddlers!
I have no idea how good they'll be, but I'm in for three sets. At least two will go in the ever-growing Christmas gifts box. No one gets personalized gifts anymore; they all get Meh.
@PurplePawprints a meh christmas? Christmas Christmas don't be late....be meh
@PurplePawprints Well, thanks. Three sets. Some of us needed to sleep and now have no sets. And a paltry Christmas box. They were so colorful, too.
@LaVikinga As it's said, you snooze you lose. (I didn't get any either. But then again, I didn't want any.)
i didn't get one... They were sold out before 4:20 AM Eastern. Where are my dank knives?
Ugh. The new meh.
Knives......running with knives....not as efficient as running with scissors.....
I like the colors! I can't be the only one...can I?
@Lrok Yes.
@Lrok I'm with you. I have a brand new set of knives I haven't even opened yet & I'm still tempted to get these just for the colors
@Kleineleh Especially the purple one.
I love purple knives.
@Barney Me, too! That's the real reason I bought three sets.
@PurplePawprints Maybe we are kindred souls?
@Barney I'm fairly certain we must be.
@PurplePawprints Yep :)
@Barney You guys are just figuring this shit out NOW?!?
@Barney @PurplePawprints I admit to buying two sets I didn't need because one of them is purple.
@Barney I may buy these, keep the purple one and put the rest on eBay.
@heartny Sorry, my friend, you are too late.
@Barney Sadness :-(
@Barney Heck yeah, ya can't have a Stabby Rainbow without at least one purple knife! Am I right? Yeah, I'm right!
@gregormehndel You are sooo right.
fidgety-presumptuous-poppy
They can't be worse than some of the other knives I own. And PURPLE! I need a purple knife.
@remo28 We all need purple knives.
This deal makes the cut!
A cut above-scimatar-purple
mewing-reminiscent-chess
My cheap Ginsus are about a year old now and they're getting mighty dull. For $9, totally worth it.
I tested one of these out and by "tested out" I mean "cut up a piece of leftover naan bread I had on the back table", but still it felt nice and sharp.
@JonT You have to buy it from meh? What kind of cheap-ass company do you work for?
@looseneck perhaps a company with some integrity. And cheap ass as well.
@looseneck Maybe employees get a REALLY good discount?
@RedOak I'm just jealous that it sold out before I woke up
@LaVikinga does free VMP count as a good discount? :|
@JonT I think paying for VMP would be worth it to have it delivered to your office.
@JonT Heck, yeah! Any free is good free. Tax free is nice. Maybe lunch catered to the office on Fridays, or all the coffee and kolaches you can consume would be good, too.
buy a real knife - the color coating peels off after a while and who knows who ate it
stainless dont matter what brand get a knife that feels good and a sharpening block
meh - and i love knives
@blndfayth I have real knives. Tonight I want purple knives.
@blndfayth @blndfayth these feel good. They're $9! I also have a real knife, but I like having a set that I don't need to treat super well like my Shun.
@JonT Kershaw Shun - yah kno? Department store Henkels are you can use everyday =P Not 9$ color plated pieces
@JonT nothing like mashing garlic in one "PWHAP" or taking sliceded items with big blade daniel san
A distrubing enchanted shelf to replace the Miracle Blade II rusting in my knife drawer.
OK Meh - I concede! I'll buy your damn knives!
I bought a set of similar knives a few years ago. They were wonderful, but so sharp I bled for weeks. I wish these cheap sets still had a nakiri. In for one anyway.
I was hoping for something of at least slight interest... another night of less than mediocre dreams.
Ooh, perfect open carry EDC knife.
@awk i'm assuming you meant edc = electronic daisy carnival :)
@ralphieeek with those colors, natch
These match my sisters color coded cutting boards?
3 x ravishing-harmonious-hen
For this price you can throw them out as soon as they need sharpening. This is going to sellout. Good one meh.
accidental-eager-fritter.... once again, perfectly capturing my mood?
I don't know if I should buy it. Color knives shouldn't look friendly, it looks like a toy.
Meh.
@ralphieeek I was thinking the same. Kids tend to love colorful objects even when they're not toys.
This is the kind of deal I love on Meh. The knives I have right now are so embarrassing that even this rainbow color set is a huge step up. Actually, I don't mind colorful knives at all. They're rather cute.
I was JUST thinking about getting a set of knives for the new apartment! Now I can stop cutting tomato's with my kershaw!
eyyy! My girlfriend has been nagging me to get a knife set! These'll do great
@Glucose And your wife will one day nag you for a $300-$600 knife set so enjoy this $9 gift given while you can, lol
@Stallion The truth hurts.
The map doesn't seem to be working tonight.
@PurplePawprints That means a supplier got ahold of the entire batch at this price and you can get your set for $18 later today on ebay.
I bought three of these at $20. Kept one and two more I bought as gifts. Most of them don't get used. Not one will cut a watermelon.
6 knives
6 plastic sheaths
-_- got excited
thought it was 12 knives
WTH?? Only 1010 sets to go around? I'm so glad I wasted my time coming here only to find out they're sold out already.
@judahsma1 don't pretend that your time is that valuable.
@marklog
Well that was another fast sellout in less than 30 minutes. Probably a good thing I came here late tonight. Would not have been able to resist. That would have a been a first for me - two meh deal days in a row. Phew, that was close!
@RedOak We'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!
@RedOak I'm starting to suspect there's some money laundering scheme Meh has involving knives, but can't quite figure it all out. Even Occam would have to admit there's no reason random knives sell out so quickly so often without some sort of foul play going on.
All gone just as I decided to join the party. Pfffff…
I hope Meh has learned an important lesson this week that purple is an awesome selling feature. Looking forward to seeing more of it.
@heartny Well it already sold out, so I think they did learn.
Darn it! I was trying to be healthy by exercising and I missed this. :(
Meh - why the feeding frenzy for junk knives? At least they're bright, fun colors for the kids - almost as great an idea as pills shaped like cartoon characters.
@Pufferfishy because the entire set was priced like a single "junk" knife!
@Pufferfishy like Flintstone vitamins, right?
This deal is a cut above the rest.
Waaaaaaah
Damn, sold out!
I really wanted you to take my money tonight, meh.
More! More! More! Can't believe I missed this! Anyone want to donate a set?
@Tadlem43 please sir, can I have some more?
Crap... The first night I didn't wake up at 12 to check Meh... I snoozed and I loosed :(
@wildmomo the site was crushed anyway - took me 20 minutes to see the homepage. Still baffled by the popularity of this """deal"""
I'm surprised nobody has made a Crocodile Dundee joke about these purple knives.
Please bring these back again.
Hey, something that is actually on my wishlist. Figures it sells out before I wake up.
@justjking Get some real knives. Fibrox/Victorinox make some decent kitchen knives.
@mcanavino Some of us are on a budget.
@justjking For sure. $35 for an 8" chefs knife, which is all you really need.
@justjking Check out Rada for nice, super inexpensive knives made in the good old U S of A. I bought some through my nephew's school fundraiser and was pleased.
Knives? But it's Speaker Dock Friday! You can't just turn it into Knife And Speaker Dock Friday.
@lljk Well um, yeah - they can. http://knivesandspeakerdocks.com/
@cinoclav Ha Ha Ha, Classic
Missed again :( Selling should start later for those of us that actually sleep at night.
This is my best knife. I don't deserve Henckels. In for 2.
@sammydog01 Wow what the heck did you do, use it as a chisel??? I love my Henckel's
@Stallion Screwdriver
@sammydog01 You should be sentenced to use nothing but sporks for the rest of your natural life. Talk about crimes against culinary cookware!
(Next time just say it got knocked off the counter and on to a stone floor!)
@LaVikinga I'm glad I didn't show you the commercial sabatier with rust stains from the dishwasher.
@sammydog01 You were raised by wolves, weren't you? That explains the screen name.
Could have actually used a set or two of these. Seems like everything that's worthwhile you guys only have 1,000 of and sell out in an hour. le sigh.
This deal sold out in 29 minutes. Sell more next time.
@brentnice It's hard to sell more if they only had a specific amount.. haha
@kadagan the implication is they should have bought more so they could sell more... lol
@brentnice I would assume that they knew this was a great price for a good product, and they snatched up as many as they possibly could.. That's like looking to someone who bought the last one of the sets last night, and saying "why didn't you buy more?"
@kadagan a seller buying more for resale and a consumer buying more for personal use is hardly a comparison. It looks like meh bought 1,000 units. That's alot. But meh is smart.

If the distributor said "we've got as many of these as you could possibly want!" I would assume that meh would see the value in them and buy a larger quantity.
@kadagan Or, they wanted it to sell out so they could start their labor day weekend.
Glad I grabbed 3 sets of these right away last night. Looks like they sold fast.
@TOaFK +`100 trolling points for you, kind sir
Thats twice this week i slept through the 20 minute sales event , nice deal MEH. just wish you would stock properly so more ppl. can get in on the deal is it a great practice to leave so many customers left out of the deal? Dosent inspire good thoughts about the buyers at Meh ..still love the site though so its mixed emotions ..simple concept buy more sell more ..bet you could have sole 5000 of this item ..
I have these. They work great! Got a second set.. thanks meh!
Sell more, don't cut it short!
why do all the good things sell out
Freaking SELL OUTS
I never had a purple knife.
I guess I’ll never get one.
What’s next, I wonder, in meh life-
A purple submachine gun?
@OldCatLady My husband offered to paint parts of the AR he's building for me purple, so that's kind of close. But, I don't think Meh will sell that. Maybe they'll sell the paint!
@PurplePawprints It scanned, so I used it, but other things would work too. I think a purple poetry thread would be a good idea. Haiku, limerick, clerihew... Hey, @sohmageek, do you need another contest idea?
I get up pretty early for work. 1 a.m. C.S.T. or daylight time, central zone. That saving time crap is confusing. At any rate, by the time I get to work, get settled in, get my people motivated (so anti-meh), and get online to see what's on meh, if the offering is any good at all IT'S ALREADY GONE. WTF MEH. I mean, srsly. I pay the VIP religeously, because, pimped out socks are totally worth $60 a year. Only a fool would argue that point. amirite? Of course I am. All I'm saying is: If it's about to sell out by 2 a.m., it's worth the hype. So please, for the love of god, Meh. For everything that's HOLY. If it's about to sell out, SAVE ONE FOR ME, I'LL PAY FOR IT, I SWEAR TO GD CTHULU OR WTF EVER YOU GUYS WARSHIP.
srsly
guys
srsly
@TheStas Also, I want to bang the chick with the plastic scimitar, because chicks with plastic scimitars deserve a good banging. Who can refute my logic?
@TheStas I weep for you.
Long live the most glorious knife salesmen to ever rule the land! I wonder how much hate mail you're going to get when (stupid) people find out that the swashbuckling sword is not part of the package though, hah!
I am on my way to talk to the Doctor, and he will arrange to have bought me some before they sold out, because he can do that. Anybody want to come with?
@OldCatLady THE The Doctor? Like in the TARDIS Doctor?
@LaVikinga Of course. We may be gone awhile, but you won't notice it. I don't know what the changes will do to the 'total' sold, but maybe that explains why some people never get their orders. The meh customer service people do their best, but sometimes orders just disappear.
@OldCatLady If mine don't show up I know where to look.
My knives came today. They look like the toy tools I used to use with my Play-Doh when I was a kid. Now I really want Play-Doh.
@peaceetc One of my Fukubukuru boxes included a complete set (36 colors, I think) of containers of Play-Doh. I had no idea such a thing existed, but I realized that my great niece Maddy (a little over 2 years old) might possibly enjoy it. From what her mom said, it's a tossup who got a bigger bang out of Meh's Fuku treat: the old fart great aunt who sent it along to Maddy, or Maddy herself, who couldn't quite believe that there was that much Play-Doh in the world, and that it was all hers. I have the feeling that Meh is responsible for insane happinesses like that over & over again.
