That’s what they say. What they don’t say is what the repercussions are? Well, I’m going to find out, because I’m going to make a confession, and it is knife related. Now, I hope those that respond will remember,
“Let he who is without Sin, caste the first stone”

My Favorite Late Night Comedy isn’t; Letterman, Leno, Conan or any of those guys, it’s The Knife Collectors Show on the Home Shopping Network! There I’ve said it! Aaaaah! It’s like a great weight has been lifted off my heart, soul and mind. I admit it I tuned in at first about two years ago just to look at knives, (I didn’t know any better at the time). I still watch on a regular basis, (Friday nights) just for the laughs. These guys are just TOO Funny! Endless babel, hyping up these POS’s. with half truths and out and out BS. They just keep talking until they can think of something to say, it’s great! Then, they try to arrange knives on a turning platform, it’s like watching a monkey mate with a football. If that wasn’t enough, they regularly cut themselves doing it. One night one of them actually admitted to being “lite-headed” from a loss of blood, ROTF LMAO! I wish I had it on tape. The whole show is a BLOOPER! It’s the Three Stooges with real blood and gore, what more could you ask for?

Now, I know some of you actually get upset that they sell so much (or any) of this CARP, but does anyone else see the HUMOR in this?

C’mon Confess! It’ll do ya’ whole bunches of good!

I must confess I did it also! Haven't tuned in for quite a while however. It wasn't that I got smarter about knives, it was because they got rid of Petey the Possum. He was the best of the bunch and by far the most entertaining.

Also get a kick out of the guy who thinks he is a Samuri expert. Next hour he is hyping radar detectors.
 
Thank God Phil. I thought I was the only one. You are right, these guys are hilarious. I have a sneaking sensation though that they are subsidized by some major members of the Western Appalachin Cutlery Gangsters Association ( I swear that such an association either exists or ought to) otherwise where would they get such large quantities of garbage.

They are a true hoot--the monkey/football analogy was most descriptive.

I admit it. I watched it once. And I enjoyed it. But it made me feel dirty.

HSN had an ad in Blade magazine. I was astonished to see that ad in Blade. I expected most readers to be far to knowledgable to buy any of that crap. But I wanted to see what what they were selling.

What I found was pure American Situation Comedy at it's Finest. Those guys are a hoot. I never saw such an appeal to the Stupid pulled off with such amazing guile. I thought they must be the most cynical two people I had ever seen on television. But then I realized that they might actually believe these knives really are good. They cheap, right? That has to be good. And they stick real well in logs.

Since Phil is confessing, I think I will say a little prayer: Save us from our own ignorance and credulity.

We ought to create a vigil of members to consistently watch the show and offer tapes for sale of highlights.

If they keep this up they may some night have their fellow Tennessean Al Gore on telling how he invented the folding knife.

He could then introduce the latest in the Case Collectibles Series. The 43 piece Mistresses of Clinton Limited Edition Set.

IT COULD HAPPEN. Case has a set of knives for everything else that ever happened in the western world.

Hey Phil,

Many times, when looking at either a football or a monkey, I've wondered just what it would look like to see one mate with the other. It's just that I've never seen the two together. Now, thanks to you, I will be able to tune in to this show and see my dreams fulfilled. I can't wait.....

Seriously though, I've seen the program, but I just couldn't stand watching it. I don't mind it so much if they are just taking advantage of the truely tasteless, but I hate to see money-grubbing dullards taking advantage of the un/undereducated.

have fun,
PhilR

Darn, Normark, I was hoping someone would admit to INHALING!

Remember ZUT, nobody has ever gone broke underestimating an Americans intelligence!
 
I must also confess. I too watched HSN's show on collectible knives.

I feel so guilty. It is hilarious though. I love how they grab the opening hole on their Spyderclones with their thumb and forefinger and flick it so the handle flips down, then they slide their hand down their butterknife sharp blade to get to the handle.
My Tae Kwon Do instructor ordered a whole set of them. I laughed at him for about two months, then one day he came in and told me he had just bought some Emersons, Kershaws, and some other stuff off of E-bay. Man, was I pissed, because I'm a poor high school student and can't afford any of that.

I was so jealous

. In fact, I'm afraid to admit that I once actually considered buying one of those pieces of trash off HSN because I'm such a bum

. It's so embarrassing. Please don't tell anyone that I was conspiring to rip off Spyderco and Emerson by buying one of those POS's.

Chang, I'm sorry to hear you're a "poor high school student." Try studying more, and stop wasting so much time here.

Confession #2- I do have one of the Bladeworks shows on tape. This one wasn't for the laughs, but they actually had on Gil Hibben, with some of his United stuff and some of his Customs, $5000 pieces on HSN. Whoda Thunkit?
 
How could even SNL spoof these folks? We have it real good here. It's hard to top this trio. First We get HSN and also a wanabe HSN, with a screaming preacher channel stuffed between them. Who need the Comedy Channel? It's like The Three Stooges Channel, The Marx Brothers Channel, and somebody pounding a hammer on Redd Fox's big toe in between. I love cable TV!

This show sounds HILARIOUS!!! I can't stand watching tv because all the shows in my opinion are crap, and I got better things to do. I do admit being a regular Seinfeld watcher until the show was canceled. Good show, good laughs. This show I definitely need to check out. What times and days?
 
Do you believe these guys actually have the nerve to call the woman on the show "The Blade Babe". Ladies of the forums please send your letters to The Knife Collectors(plllease)Show, C/O HSN, someplace in Tenn.
 
Hey, she wouldn't look so bad if you were as drunk as these guys.

What's the difference between a Pig and a FOX?
 
Well, I don't keep a goddamnnoisybox in the house (too snobbish ... sorry ...) but something posted in this thread seems just beyond belief ... did I understand you right??? Do these guys take cheap imitation knives made of 420-J2 age-hardened cheese and stab them into logs? And they don't break? Are those knives warranted for that kind of abuse? Have the guys who are posting in the threads on unreasonable destructive knife testing seen these commercials?

That just doesn't seem possible ... would the government let them get away with painting up a styrofoam log to look like wood? There's something fishy going on here ... how could cheap imitation knives survive treatment that so many experts agree is gross abuse for the toughest knives money can buy?

-Cougar :{)

P.S. Could I have misinterpreted you -- do they really stab those cheap knives into the logs or do they only push them in?

:{)

P.P.S. How do they get the knives out of the logs after they stab or push them in? Is there any prying or pulling involved? Do they do that on television too? If they do it off camera maybe they have special tools of some kind that can remove a knife from a log without breaking the point off ... or maybe they don't get them out; maybe they throw away the logs knives and all because they can't get the knives out of the logs without breaking them.... There must be some kind of trick to it ... it's mystifying.
