I see from the March Blade (p. 3) that Ginsu has come out with a line of hunting knives. They're kidding, right? Somebody please tell me that they're kidding.
 
I was going to suggest this line for superflyafro. It's the be all, end all!!!

Oh, Jesus, that would have been too funny. Except that he'd probably make about five posts about it.

I knew I should have posted this in W&C . . . cuz after seeing those prices, I had a few choice words to say that can't be repeated here.

$120??!!? For a @#!*$ Ginsu knife? Words fail me.
 
Hey....a hundred and thirty bucks *may* seem steep for that 4-inch drop point Ginsu....but WAIT !!!! "That`s not all !!!" With each Ginsu knife, you *also* get a GENIUNE, pseudo-Asian bamboo steamer, complete with chopsticks for eight !!!" "And, that`s NOT ALL !!!" "If you`re among the first 2400 lucky callers, you`ll ALSO receive a genuine simulated Indian Beaver carrying sheath for your knife (we don`t have REAL beavers in India, so we have to simulate them) Call NOW and we`ll take a dollar off the shipping and handling !"
 
And another thing - I'm getting really sick of people saying that Bob Loveless invented the drop-point knife. He made his first knife in 1953; Bo Randall came out with the model 11 in 1952. Geez, some people just burn me up.

So what does that have to do with this thread? Absolutely nothing. So sue me. You'll have to f@#!king get in line.

Yeah, I really should have posted this in W&C. Screw it.
 
Sorry for that outburst, but I've got frickin' Gollnick arguing with me on another thread about how multi-tracking of recordings was done "since the beginning of time." Like he frickin' was there. (You may have surmised by now that I was ).

Superflyafro was checking out Fallkniven F1s as of early this morning. I suppose we'll hear all about it . . .
 
im confused because I thought the original ginsus were not made in Japan. Did a japanese company buy them out?

I think he has about 3 different user names now. I seriously wish he would just drop the attitude, slow down and let us help him out.

Ginsu continues the age old Damascus tradition by using multiple sheets of superior Japanese high carbon stainless steels, combined with Japanese low carbon stainless steels to form a superior Japanese Stainless Steel Damascus. Ginsu Damascus material is made by hot rolling multiple sheets of different grades of stainless steel together and hammering (forge welding) them together in large machines, instead of by hand. Every Ginsu Damascus blade is comprised of 33 layers of stainless steel materials. The core of the blade is comprised of high carbon, very hard Japanese VG-1 stainless steel. The VG-1 stainless steel core is over laid in the forming process with alternating layers of Japanese high carbon 420 and low carbon 430 stainless steels. Each knife blade is then cut from this Damascus stainless steel sheet.

The blades are then sharpened to a wickedly razor sharp Asian knife edge angle of 10°. This angle ensures that every blade is wicked sharp right out of the box. Each blade is then cryogenically cooled in our proprietary process. The proprietary cryogenic process uses liquid Nitrogen to draw the molecules of the steel closer together for ultimate edge retention.


• Wicked sharp Japanese stainless steel Damascus blades are forged for superior strength.

• Stainless steel blade is cryogenically cooled for ultimate edge retention.

• Groundbreaking, solid cast handle with soft touch, antimicrobial inserts for secure grip.

• Full steel tang extends through handle for precision balance and strength.

• Beautiful bamboo case with window, perfect for protecting and displaying this collectible knife.

• Full grain, durable leather sheath for storage. Includes leather belt loop for easy carrying.



Specification:
Overall Length: 8.875"
Blade Length: 4.375"
Handle Length: 4.5"
Blade Width: 1.25"
Blade Thickness: 0.139
Steel: Damascus
 
From the Ginsu ad copy:

"Wicked sharp Japanese stainless steel Damascus blades are forged for superior strength."
