@awk yep, a deal on the Fiskars X27 (36”) Axe for say, $25-29 would be nice. Already have the awesome X7 (14”) hatchet. (Oops, realizes that is an X25… they look the same tho.)
@cbl_wv or, depending on the quality of metal, my sharpening stone could make these shears/knives Amazing!!! Meh gods, I throw myself at your feet for plunder. No, seriously… first I was a Woot-Star for you, now I’m a Meh’r Through and through.
@cbl_wv They literally have a picture on the Amazon listing showing the shears going in the dishwasher. And in the Meh specs, “Dishwasher-safe.” Why do you say otherwise?
@Telanis Oh I understand that, but the OP implies that dishwasher safe shears do exist, and these not being dishwasher safe is a reason not to buy them. I guess the OP can never buy knives or shears.
I have Fiskars kitchen shears which are thirty some years old. They ride the dishwasher a couple times a week. No rust. No dull. There. I overcame physics for thirty years. Perhaps in another hundred years physics will win, but I’ll not see it. Are you sure you were dishwashering genuine Fiskars? Or one of the zillion copycats with orange handles?
@mike808 so in the meh exchange I got two small meh faces you can glue on to other pop sockets if you want. They look exactly like in your photo. Problem solved. Or buy white ones and a black sharpie. In fact buy these knives and scissors, use them to cut white plastic and aforementioned sharpie and you are set.
@hutchnow that’s actually a pretty good point. Another really good metal, sharp, high-quality product is the tweezerman products. German made, I think. Although pretty much everything that’s made is first made in China and then assembled in said country to either as a high standard of quality… or they don’t. I saw a tweezerman kiosk at Bed Bath and Beyond recently and they are making their presence known in the main stream. I just hope that their quality keeps high while their distribution expands. In the meantime… Fiskars? Quality name. Probably a quality product.
@stinks if it was, they’re not faking right. If my chinese broken english sweat house review slave wrote, “it was a gift,” I wouldn’t say I’d fire him, but I may let slip that the suicide net would be down for maintenance this Friday at 5:01 PM.
Gimme three knives, gimme three knives, Mehster
Gimme three knives toward the door!
Gimme three knives, gimme three knives, Mehster
And you’ll never see me no more!
Most of my knives are from the Cooking Supplies section at the grocery store, so these can only be an improvement. I’ve had a lot of Fiskar’s garden tools, and they’ve been pretty AWESOME, so I’m in for these …
/giphy shivering icky quilt
I feel like it’s unfair that the 7’’ chef knife is based upon blade length, but the 7’’ kitchen shears appear to be based upon either total length or the combined length of each blade.
Writing my congressman is the appropriate response, right?
So I’ve had VMP, all grandfathered in, ordered stuff at Xmas and got free shipping. This order ants me to pay for shipping today. Did VMP completely disappear?
@RedOak Thanks, wondered about that pile of emoji. What confuses me is that you still have a VMP badge, I’ve paid for it (sort of uselessly TBH) out of habit, am still paying, but am now pooped on. Any idea why that would happen?
Edit: Just hovered over my poop emoji and I’m an ex-vmp. Shock Horror!
Edit2: I did just buy something from WOOT! Maybe they found out.
@mehvermore@RedOak
Contact Customer Support to see if your payment information expired amd your card was declined. VMP charges are processed on the 1st, so youre a week in, so get on it sooner rather than later.

To murder your friend. Just remember nobody no crime or is it no body no crime it’s all so confusing.
The picture with the knife in the hand would explain precisely why I’m NOT buying knives…I’m only allowed using plastic per my Psychiatrist. JK or am I!?

You got any Fiskars garden tools? In the back maybe?
@awk yep, a deal on the Fiskars X27 (36”) Axe for say, $25-29 would be nice. Already have the awesome X7 (14”) hatchet. (Oops, realizes that is an X25… they look the same tho.)
@awk the wife bought a Fiskars lawn mower. Gotta stay sharp!
Mmmmmmmm……fat paper.
Yeah, nope. Meh.
Poor quality, and NOT dishwasher safe (particularly the shears) if you expect these to last for more than 6 months’ of regular use.
Maybe a good buy for a wedding gift, if you expect them to break up within a year. Otherwise, nope. nope, nope.
@cbl_wv or, depending on the quality of metal, my sharpening stone could make these shears/knives Amazing!!! Meh gods, I throw myself at your feet for plunder. No, seriously… first I was a Woot-Star for you, now I’m a Meh’r Through and through.
@cbl_wv Dude/Dudette, don’t wash any knives used for food prep in a dishwasher, just don’t do it unless it’s a cheap ass knife that’s always dull.
@cbl_wv They literally have a picture on the Amazon listing showing the shears going in the dishwasher. And in the Meh specs, “Dishwasher-safe.” Why do you say otherwise?
@TurtleTamer Because they will rust and dull. Dishwashers are extremely hard on knives. Writing something down can’t overcome physics, sadly.
@Telanis Oh I understand that, but the OP implies that dishwasher safe shears do exist, and these not being dishwasher safe is a reason not to buy them. I guess the OP can never buy knives or shears.

Dammit meh, THIS would’ve been the perfect disappointing Valentine’s Day gift but I can’t bank on it getting here in time.
You know what would look sharper than these knives?
Meh Face Pop Sockets
Day 124 and still counting, @deathbynoodlez @reclaimercube
@mike808 so in the meh exchange I got two small meh faces you can glue on to other pop sockets if you want. They look exactly like in your photo. Problem solved. Or buy white ones and a black sharpie. In fact buy these knives and scissors, use them to cut white plastic and aforementioned sharpie and you are set.
@Kidsandliz We don’t want a DIY project to makenournown knockoffs. That’s why we come to Meh and buy the good sh… er stuff.
Hey, @mediocrebot, aren’t Meh Face Pop Sockets just AWESOME?
HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
@mike808 my lil nephew stepped on my phone and broke my pop socket. joining the cause; could use one or two meh pop sockets.
One of them looks like a sharp-tailed fish.
Yet another thing I didn’t know Fiskars made. Guess I’ll get in on this…they haven’t let me down yet.
@hutchnow that’s actually a pretty good point. Another really good metal, sharp, high-quality product is the tweezerman products. German made, I think.

@hutchnow Good… Good…
-Fiskars
The last picture was unexpected and disturbing.
Or maybe that review from “Person” was A FAKE REVIEW.
/giphy but you knew that, didn’t you?

@goldnectar Ouch.

@hchavers Unexpected Skinnard! :applause:

MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
@mediocrebot ok, that’s going to get old …
@stolicat That will never get old.
Perfect for my back alley vasectomy business!
Oh gosh. The avocado-hand pic really got me.

Cut it out!!

@mehvermore that steaming pile of shit next to your handle would indicate so.

Hopefully this doesn’t mean you’re Finnished selling knives. (I’m only a bit more than 50% Finnished.)
All of today’s deals
Does anyone know if the shears come apart so you can sharpen them? Asking for a friend.
@goldnectar you’re not planning on using them on that friend I hope.
@OnionSoup not right away.
@goldnectar @OnionSoup
Oh valiant schemer! The plan was hatched so long ago on. The ides of March eh confusingly familiar…
To murder your friend. Just remember nobody no crime or is it no body no crime it’s all so confusing.
@goldnectar @sippinndippin “meh tu Brutus”
The picture with the knife in the hand would explain precisely why I’m NOT buying knives…I’m only allowed using plastic per my Psychiatrist. JK or am I!?
$7 each ! That would make these the most expensive knives in my kitchen.
@jmbunkin But the scissors are really like two knives, so that’s more like $5.25.
My wife has Fiskars fabric scissors, and they’re excellent.
Since I am Finnish, heck yeah I bought two sets just because they are a product made in Finland.
@Finland1914
So you are not finnished then?
Okay, but how did “Person” post a “verified purchase” review if it was a “gift”
I smell a rat.
@Omehgawd they gave it away as a gift?
You know what the knives remind me of…
The Panama papers. They really slice into your soul by the absolute greed.
Sippinndippin: Yep, I “finnished up”
