I hate bad, cheap knives. They’re horrible.
But (head hung low) I went and hit the “buy” button.
Gosh, they’re cute! Maybe stick 'em in the camping box.
“surgical stainless steel”…I always wanted to do a heart transplant…and with “Nonstick coating to resist corrosion and reduce cleaning time”, they’ll clean up nicely. Maybe I can do more than one at a time?
I was almost on board, but the serration is putting me off, both due to not being able to easily sharpen, and my history of losing blood to such blades.
@mediocrebot Don’t need any more knives, but just wanted to finally use the nifty buy command. Yup - six bucks just to get mediocrebot to display an image for me. (But I do love period dramas, soooo…)
As a forensic blood spatter analyst I understand how knives should work, and that is why I love this Ginsu Nuri 3-Piece Knife Set!!! The soft grip handles really feel right though my Damascus D302 UltraThin Cabretta Police Gloves and the knives bright colors really make them stand out in a room covered in plastic!!! I love them so much I got a spare set for my boat.
In for 4 sets and of course I got VMP… it really slashes shipping costs.
So if I use my credit from the Kershaw Kerfuffle, how do I use the dollar left over? I’d hate to waste it, being a cheap bastard that buys $7 knives on vmp.
so, didn’t realize I could have just used some magic bot command. kinda spooky. but since I went ahead and did things manually here is

@vanslaterco ok, picture this - I knock on my neighbor’s door, he answers, I immediately drop my arm full of old knives then pretend not to notice while complementing him on his lawn. Once he picks them up and hands them to me I produce an evidence bag maintaining eye contact and refusing to touch them myself then I run back across the grass.
Lol. That will teach him for letting his dog poop in my driveway.
It’s getting late, I am over thinking this and laughing at myself while typing.
Lol. Mehhhh
@vanslaterco Buying something that sells out is what makes the midnight alarm totally worth it.

Chop! Ginsu 2000!
@Stallion Chop Shop
@Stallion You just a sirry cut up!
So I guess my wallet appreciates the fact that they’re not selling more speakers.
Why is there a piece of paper on that sandwich?
@somf69 It’s high in fiber.
@somf69 - The sandwich contains all the stuff they sliced in the demonstration video.
@KDemo The nail gives it that extra crunch!
@ciabelle - Well, if we took the nail out it wouldn’t be crunchy, would it?
These stupid cheap deals are hard to resist.
Those $500 one? Much easier.
/giphy stupid cheap
I still have an original set of Ginsu knives. They don’t cut through cans but can still slice a tomato.
I still have a Ginsu serrated knife from about 25 or so years ago. Still the best serrated knife ever.
@AnnaB Mine are only allowed to be used for bread- I use a Fiskars sharpener on mine and they cut crazy good.

@mediocrebot is… is this real life?
@Endreo yup. As soon as I hit submit I got a confirmation email.
I’ll buy the shit out of cheap knives because I buy cheap knives and always need new knives.
Love the VMP
“Nonstick coating to resist corrosion and reduce cleaning time”. I thought that’s why they are made of surgical stainless steel.
I hate bad, cheap knives. They’re horrible.

But (head hung low) I went and hit the “buy” button.
Gosh, they’re cute!
@veggiebear that’s exactly where mine will go

“surgical stainless steel”…I always wanted to do a heart transplant…and with “Nonstick coating to resist corrosion and reduce cleaning time”, they’ll clean up nicely. Maybe I can do more than one at a time?
@eeterrific but that coating isn’t autoclave-friendly.
I was almost on board, but the serration is putting me off, both due to not being able to easily sharpen, and my history of losing blood to such blades.
@nogoodwithnames The serration is what sold me because - tomatoes!
@nogoodwithnames Yours must have been sharp at one time in order to let said blood.
As above, I use a Fiskars sharpener [https://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Axe-and-Knife-Sharpener/dp/B0000950Q4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467346187&sr=8-1&keywords=fiskars+sharpening+tool]
on my old [actual] Ginsu knives, and they are hella sharp.
@PhysAssist Not sharp enough was actually the problem. It got stuck, I forced it, and, well, another tick mark on the hand of accidents.

@Nexar … Ooo, that’s nasty… and for half the population quite scary.
I’d just like to take this time to remind everyone that John Bobbitt made a porno.
I haven’t seen it and probably wouldn’t recommend watching it, but I just feel like people should know it’s out there.
@Nexar why does it put it back after the first time?
Been watching Meh everyday since I stumbled drinkingly here 4-5 months ago. This is my first buy, and I’ll take three!
Can’t get much better than that.
@cinoclav we know which one “orange” is, but which one are you going to name “goofy” and which one “manager”?
@shawn I’m going to ‘manage’ all the ‘goofy’ people with the ‘orange’ one…
Can’t wait for the coating to flake off into my food!

How does one discard/dispose of knives? Cause immma’boutta need some free space for these new ones.
@paula312 Bottom of the tool box, usually. Or donate to a thrift store.
@paula312 Drop em in the tray after yours in the airport security line. Bring popcorn.
@mike808 Scary, but I’ll watch that movie!
@vanslaterco donate them… Ok, next question: what is the best way to get finger prints off stuff?
@paula312 Just have your neighbor touch them all so you have a layer of deniability.
@vanslaterco ok, picture this - I knock on my neighbor’s door, he answers, I immediately drop my arm full of old knives then pretend not to notice while complementing him on his lawn.
