Ask the person if they would buy all those other products they seem to dump on television audiences.You could try and explain the differeces in various steels but you would more then likely bore the non knife personto sleep.Other then patient education of said people who if they are non knife types more then likely aren't listening to you anyway because as far as they are concerned they get like 50 different kitchen knives and gadgets for there $19.95 so they think they are making out big time. Next time your invited over for supper go early and volunteer to cut and dice the food and bring some of your favorite knives to do it with.After your finished take all of their cheap knives outside and put them through torture tests then after they are all rendered useless offer to go along and help pick out new knives.If none of these things work then at least you tried.

Darn, I thought there was a new maker.
Ask them if they belive everything they see on TV...if they say yes, they deserve them.

Somebody on rec.knives posted the URL to a *hilarious* website wherein one of the regulars came across a complete boxed "Sportsmen's Delight" or whatever set of that crap at a flea market for $10. Pretty much as a gag, he bought it and did a review.
Oooooooooeeeee you can't imagine how bad. Rockwells in the low 40s, the works. This stuff was WORSE than most flea market Pakistani "knife shaped objects" (thanx, Mad Dog, great term) since the customer couldn't see (and puke) ahead of time.
No, I don't recall the URL or creator. Dammit. If you really want it go post a query on rec.knives, somebody'll know.
