I just saw the infomercial and I know they are probably junk, but its almost worth the $35 just to find out. Any opinions out there? Anyone own them?
 
I've got 3 sets of 2000 Ginsu knives, I've been selling them for $5 a piece as the perfect gift for someone you don't really want to give a gift to, but just for you I'll send you all 3 sets for the same price of one set of the Miracle Knives.
 
I wish SOMEONE would check 'em out, but it sure isn't going to be me. Heck of a guarantee on those things, though...
 
We could always buy a bunch, keep trashing the blade until they stop doing it :p

Theres a good idea. I saw some knives on an infomercial about 2 years ago that actually listed a hardness of 48 HRC as a good point.
 
If you are just looking for something that cuts in the kitchen , Sure pick them up, But I have recently discovered that a good quality knife in the kitchen makes cooking much more enjoyable. And remember more times than not, You get what you pay for.

exactly, when i use my cheapie knives at home cutting food is like trying to through concrete, when i use my friends Global knives, it's like cutting through butter
 
Yeah, I would like to know how these knives really are too. The warrenty says if it gets damaged or dull in anyway, they'll replace it. That was something that really caught my eye, but I haven't had any experiences with them nor have I even heard anyone that used them b4. However, I do know one bad thing about them, they are not full tang construction, probably just quarter which could mean its very blade heavy.
 
Warrenty's bring up a question that I've had, "Lifetime Warrenty." Does that mean the lifetime of the owner, the lifetime of the company or the lifetime of the knife?
 
I have used a couple of types of infomercial knives, you can pick them up at flea markets for dirt cheap. What I have seen is very different from what you see on tv. For most use, assuming you are willing to take care of your knives and not beat them around in the kitchen, a couple of quality simple knives will allow very high cutting performance for a long time inbetween sharpening. No you can't slice up a hammer head and still cut a tomato, but you can cut normal food for weeks without pause if you want to.

Lifetime warranties are supposed to mean that they are warrantied for the lifetime of the person that buys them. This warranty is almost never transferable. In reality, the warranty usually covers the lifetime of the company that makes the product. This is because once the manufacturer is gone, so is the warranty.

The lifetime of the knife would be a pretty useless warranty, but the way some companies operate I would definitely read the fine print.;)
 
i was in walmart this weekend when a guy demonstrated his set of miracle knives that will never bend, break, discolor, or need sharpening (ala cutco style).
he said they were made of genuine surgical stainless steel. i started to interrupt and ask what the RC of the steel was (or even what kind it was) but so impressed that this $10 knife could do things my BM910 w/ titanium liners and M2 steel cant that i held my tongue.
i really wanted to ask why if his knives could do all these things so well for so cheap why do we use anything else. i held my tongue again when so many people lined up to buy them.
go figure. my opinion: they are junk the company is counting on customers not returning for warranty service.
 
better yet..the actual knives make a wonderous profite....meaning replacing thems no prob :rolleyes:
