Does anyone actually buy those crap knives and swords off late night infomercials? What on earth do you need 112 frost cutlery knives for? maybe cause they gonna break I dunno.......
 
I fell asleep on the couch while watching TV last weekend, woke up in the middle of the night and decide to see what was on. Sure enough, I got to "Cutlery Corner" and couldn't tear my eyes away. Not since the last time I was at a gun show had I seen so many pieces of absolute crap (with apparently sharp edges) all in one place! When some green-handled, black-bladed anti-zombie knives came up, the comedy value doubled, and then when the guy started talking about "that there new Ninja Turtle movie" while pitching katanas, well, that was truly magical.
 
I don't think many of the fellas on here buy those pieces of trash! I know a hell of a lot of locals around here that do though. Jin-yoooo-wiiiine Boooo-weeeee-knaaaaf!!!!!! It never gets old. I watch it just to get a laugh!

Hey, did you guys ever notice that every once in a blue moon, in the middle of hawking all of that bullshit, they will actually bring out a quality blade? It doesn't happen very often, but when it does the guy just gushes over them! He's like "hot damn! I finally get to talk about something that's not a complete p.o.s.!"
 
Yea I hate seeing Case and Kershaw occasionally being sold amidst all that garbage. They deserve better than that:(

Me? I work nights so I get home late. Nothing else is on sometimes so I tune in just to hear the horrible accents and laugh at the booboo-assed blades! It's laughable the lengths they go to in order to get people to buy that crapola. I wouldn't take em if they were free.
 
I think every future knife fan, when they were much much younger, dreamt of buying those gigantic lots of knives and selling them to make money.
 
In nat only gunna sell you 2 knives, in nat only gunna sell you 3 knives... In gunna sell you 47 knives for $39.99!
 
Made me think of that video cutlerylover posted on his Youtube channel where they got the president of Frost Cutlery tied to a chair so they could cut him out of it but none of the 100+ knives they had on display behind him were sharp enough to cut the zip ties so they used a better knife that one of their stage hands had on him. Wanted to post it here but can't find it.

Huh? Why did the president of Frost Cutlery go along with that, and without even having prepared a knife? And how long did it take them to try out 100+ knives?
 
My brother once bought about 25 or so knives at one time. I had previously given him a Boker Top Lock. All of the crap knives were gone, broken, or given away within a year. He's been carrying the Top Lock for 15 years, now...

Hilarious! Have you seen the one where the guy is banging the spine of a samurai sword on the table (saying how strong it is) and about 8" of it breaks off, flips up and stabs him in the stomach? Junk junk junk!!!!
 
He loves his go-to phrases. "Full tang!" and "Pretty sharp".
Whats really funny is the BudK unboxing videos on YouTube. This one guy opened all the blades on a stockman and proceeded to make stabby motions back and forth. "Hmm must be some kind of... um utility knife" :what:
 
Don't go knocking Frost now. Some of my most treasured knives are a set of Frosts given to me by my daughter when she was 12. I wouldn't trade her grade-school artwork
for a Picasso (at least with hers I know what I'm looking at.). And I'll always have those Frosts.
 
I see lots of those "Lots" being sold on Craigslist or local flea markets, every once in a while I will get something of that ilk for a gift from someone that knows I am a "Knife Guy" I always act excited, and thank them, I keep them, because they are gifts, but most importantly, I don't want anyone else to get one of them from me then get hurt or something, I would feel responsible for their injury. :(
 
I often see these knives at the local flea markets. The sellers know they are crap and try to double or triple their investment.

I feel the same way about my kids, trust me. I have plenty of special knives given to me by my kids because they thought I would like them. I carry them on occasion, and make sure they see me using them, but it doesn't make them perform any better...

My oldest daughter gave me a turd with a handle and I carry it whenever I know I'm gonna see her. She always says "you still have that knife Dad? I'm glad you like it!", and I do like it. For sentimental reasons only. It still sucks, I just would never tell her that.

Not trying to hurt your feelings or diminish your love for the knives your daughter gave you. Just saying I understand. And it is precious for your child to care enough about your interests that they give you a knife at all. It doesn't make the knives I've been given suck any less, but we've got to love em!

They tried a few and then they probably didn't want to embarrass themselves by trying all the knives so they just borrowed one that worked.

Lol, exactly how I feel... I see your from MN. Me too. Last time I went to a gun show it was in Duluth and the only cool knive there was a used spyderco police from the early 90's... consequently it was also the most over priced. Funny thing is, those cheapo gun show knives fly off the tables. I wish people would do more reasearch. Same thing goes with those infomercials...
