@awk@Trinityscrew, Oh Well, I’ll remember to mention that ‘Fact’ the next time someone asks me, “Is there some object that can cut through tittanium, diamonds, or time¿?” Thanks, for your Very Wise answer! And I thought I was a genius, Oh Well BTW, I wasss gonna say that A fukn Fart cuts through quite a bit of crap, e.g. a pair of jeans, a face mask, etc, but hey,… what do I know!!
@awk@danlo@Trinityscrew, How much water can a waterjet cutter cut if a wterjet cutter could cut water¿? [taken from the fuckn woodchuck question] This is Not my attempt to be fuckn funny, but is merely sarcasm-know the fn difference, Warpedrotors! JSYFK!!
@awk@danlo@decoratedwarvet Good afternoon DWV! I guess you’re just funny without meaning to be.
Oh, and, “Most noticeable in spoken word, sarcasm is mainly distinguished by the inflection with which it is spoken and is largely context-dependent.”
@awk@danlo@Trinityscrew, Please, excuse me Buddy, I was actually pullying Warpedrotors leg because after one of my sarcastic comments on the Strpawfel nite, where I stated the Strupwls aren’t crackered up, but are really just Stroopwafeled up, or some-thing like that! Pedro replied to me that as hard as I try, I’m not the least bit funny + he said he was gonna block me!! First off, LOL & Who Gives A Rat’s Ass what he Whines about!! 2nd, I wasn’t fuckn talkin to his ass but if he doesn’t want any shithe need not start any!! He truly needs to realize he is fuckin with the wrooong Mother Fucker & is fuckin with a Son Of A Bitch!! Please, do excuse my long winded explanation, but when you have time check this jerk out!!
@Coldwyn Seems to me that if these cuts stuff just like a “100%” knife as you call it, why would you overpay for the 80% that doesn’t make it cut any better?
Or another way, why would you pay for 500% more knife that doesn’t cut 500% more stuff or 500% better?
@mike808 Except these are the same price range as other knife sets that pop up on this site. So you really are just getting 20% of a knife that also have less functionality and a set that has less to offer than other sets on here. There’s only two different serrations so why need 5 knives? They will all cut the same so you only need one of each serration. The shape of the actual knife doesn’t matter now because the actual cutting edge is the same height. None of them can do any heavy duty work because steel that thin won’t hold up to anything besides gentle slicing and can’t be sharpened repeatedly due to the thin blade section. No matter how you look at it this entire set offers less value and less functionality than a full set of regular knives in the same price range.
@mattpekarek Meh sets them up and we knock them down. I was surprised the joke hadn’t been made before me already. Must not be a lot of Cake fans on here.
@ELJAY@mike808, that’s what I thought until I checked out the other photos; they are 20% metal & 80% air!! If they say ‘Stainless Steel’ & they’re from China, then you can bet your children’s fuckin college fund that it’s Not stainless steel!! JSYK!!
I looked on Amazon to see what they were made of… It didn’t say, but they appear to be metal. The white looks like the cover, but that doesn’t make sense either… IDK…
Actually… I now saw the covers. Not sure why they look so white in photo… Nice to see what they are made of… Not coming to my home anyway. I have enough sharp items…
In all seriousness, I wonder what percentage of people actually sharpen a serrated blade? Outside of pros, I would suspect it is comfortably in the single digits.
@haydesigner Maybe even less, considering how little overlap there is between people that buy serrated knives and people that sharpen their knives instead of throwing them away when they get dull.
I should have just looked here first, but I kept trying to remember where that was from, “such a simple machine, she doesn’t have to use force…” I could HEAR it, but couldn’t remember where it was from, and then it finally came to me. CAKE!! Haven’t heard that for years… : )
Scissors less than 4 inches from the pivot point are allowed in a carry on bag by the TSA, but knives of any kind are not. You could probably try rubber banding two of the small knives together and calling them scissors, but only if your last name rhymes with Slick Diver.
I can just see the carnage when someone tries to slice cheese by pressing down on the spine only to have the “girder web” collapse - most likely folding lengthwise. Besides being fragile and unnecessary these are probably a real bitch to clean.
Who would buy this junk?! They look like plastic hacksaws! SMH. Only thing to do with these is bake them in a cake and send it to Rocco, living at state expense, upriver…
I have seen a lot of crappy knives, but until I saw a hollow knife, I’ve never been able to say I hated a knife I’ve seen. This looks like it’d be a nightmare to use with any speed.
@Pufferfishy It was probably REALLY HARD finding someone who never used a knife their entire life. (Ooh. It rhymes!) They should get SOME credit for that effort.
Serrated blade = hard no for me dawg.
Impossible to sharpen, limited lifespan.
Seriously, do yourself a favor and buy a decent knife & a sharpener. If you take care of them they will last a lifetime. Or you could spend $24 on crap like this every couple years.
@greenroomjah I get what you’re saying but to be fair, if you were to spend $500 on a good set of knives, or buy these every two years at $25/pop your high dollar knives would have to last more than 40 years to be financially beneficial to purchase.
Of course they can last 40+ years, but then you have the added hassle of having to sharpen them regularly, and to be more careful with washing and storing them and all that…
Maybe someone who takes cooking seriously would appreciate that extra effort, but the average person out there just wants something cheap and doesn’t mind having to replace them from time to time.
Today’s “disposable” mindset exists for a reason - it’s all about convenience for a lot of people, and the added “joy” of getting something new from time to time.
I’m not excusing this behavior, just explaining it.
@mOONmOON Yeah but you’re completely overstating the level of care & knife quality required. I received a 2 knife set as a gift 10+ years ago. It was around $50 at Kohls (barely 2x the cost of these!). I run them through my super-cheap knife sharpener whenever they start to feel dull (every 4-6 months or so), takes less than 5 minutes. I don’t put any extra effort into caring for them & they still work as well as the day I got them.
If people want to repeatedly waste their money on garbage like this that’s their prerogative but the alternative is not necessarily all that much more expensive or difficult to maintain.
you forgot the middle parts. it’s like there is only 10% left? it’s like a car without the doors. a house without the walls. i’m feeling empty and confused
So after looking on Amazon they said the smaller set was made out of 440 stainless steel, I only saw that mention by one of the company reps in the question & answer part on Amazon

Wacky
These knives are missing a little something.
@lljk, Si, calculated @ about 80% of something!! That’s a little bit More than ‘a little’!!
@decoratedwarvet @lljk So they should be 80% off, right?
@blaineg @lljk, Si, Senior!!
I suspect that’s an exaggeration.
@awk, yeah,…nothing cuts through anything! Nothing!
/giphy hyperbole?
@awk @decoratedwarvet Waterjet cutters do.
@awk Reminds me of Johnny Dangerously - “It shoots through schools”
@awk @decoratedwarvet @Trinityscrew Can they cut water?
@awk @danlo @decoratedwarvet @Trinityscrew More to the point: will they allow Meh to cut the crap?
@awk @danlo @decoratedwarvet Yes. A waterjet can cut water. Frozen water, but still water.
@awk @Trinityscrew, Oh Well, I’ll remember to mention that ‘Fact’ the next time someone asks me, “Is there some object that can cut through tittanium, diamonds, or time¿?” Thanks, for your Very Wise answer!

I holey endorse this product.
Wow
/giphy hacksaw
Seeing as how about 80% of the knife is missing I wonder what the price would be if I wanted to buy a 100% knife?
@Coldwyn Seems to me that if these cuts stuff just like a “100%” knife as you call it, why would you overpay for the 80% that doesn’t make it cut any better?

They should come with ziplock bags… To put in the freezer. But with good food in them and not the other thing.
@Lister I inadvertently stole your joke. My bad.
@mattpekarek Meh sets them up and we knock them down. I was surprised the joke hadn’t been made before me already. Must not be a lot of Cake fans on here.
@Lister @mattpekarek
@Lister @mattpekarek I’m buying to cut up my Italian leather sofa.
Does anybody know what these “sexy, super sharp knives” are made out of?
@ELJAY Plastic. Think fancy fast-food restaurant cutlery. A tad more fashionable than a spork.
/image plastic knife
@mike808 Not with a 57 Rockwell Hardness…
@ELJAY @mike808, that’s what I thought until I checked out the other photos; they are 20% metal & 80% air!! If they say ‘Stainless Steel’ & they’re from China, then you can bet your children’s fuckin college fund that it’s Not stainless steel!! JSYK!!
Now in five bright colors your kids will absolutely love!
Holy Blade, Batman!
@hchavers
I looked on Amazon to see what they were made of… It didn’t say, but they appear to be metal. The white looks like the cover, but that doesn’t make sense either… IDK…
When I get what I want, I put the rest on a tray in a Ziploc bag in the freezer?
perfect for that halloween clown costume!
Actually… I now saw the covers. Not sure why they look so white in photo… Nice to see what they are made of… Not coming to my home anyway. I have enough sharp items…
They realize that the other parts of the blade that are usually there are there for a reason, right?
These will need to be sharpened, at some point in their life; exactly how will that be accomplished?
In all seriousness, I wonder what percentage of people actually sharpen a serrated blade? Outside of pros, I would suspect it is comfortably in the single digits.
@haydesigner Maybe even less, considering how little overlap there is between people that buy serrated knives and people that sharpen their knives instead of throwing them away when they get dull.
Is that a Cake reference I’m detecting?
@DoctorOW just go ahead and ruin it, why don’t you.
@actionjbone @DoctorOW …in the freezer.
One of my favorite songs.
@DoctorOW These babies will cut right through an italian leather sofa!
@DoctorOW Yes! meh, you awesome.
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
The smaller set on Amazon says they are made of stainless steel:
www.amazon.com/Pack-Easy-Slice-Knife-Set/dp/B0187TAKRS
And this infomercial site says steel:

Made of genuine metal, so accept no substitutes!
@dvermilion was just thinking about Mission Hill two days ago, too.
@dvermilion @FSSZilla I think the time is right for season 3. Who’s got contacts at Netflix?
I should have just looked here first, but I kept trying to remember where that was from, “such a simple machine, she doesn’t have to use force…” I could HEAR it, but couldn’t remember where it was from, and then it finally came to me. CAKE!! Haven’t heard that for years… : )
@dvermilion @FSSZilla “Douchebag” written in cursive still cracks me up.
She doesn’t care whether or not it’s a good meh?

@tweezak Sounds like an ideal Meh product all around.

Easy slice, hard clean.
I like knives and I have a few. These are not knives.
Boy, that’s the smoothest Cake reference I’ve ever witnessed.
I have seen a lot of crappy knives, but until I saw a hollow knife, I’ve never been able to say I hated a knife I’ve seen. This looks like it’d be a nightmare to use with any speed.
Some discount sites cut out the middle man and pass the savings onto you.
Not Meh, though. No, Meh cuts out the actual middle of the product.
Endorsed by Hannibal Lecter?
@eeterrific doubt it. He has refined tastes.
This is what you get when you let someone that has clearly never used a knife their entire life design a knife.
