With all the hype it got last year and earlier this year, I'm surprised that nobody wants one of those Diamond Blade hard edged knives. I'd try one, but they are just way, way out of my price range. Anyway, it seems the main selling point is that you don't have to sharpen it very often. Sharpening a knife is what you do in front of the TV at night. Also, I heard both companies are having trouble and laid off lots of workers. That would made the guarentee worthless it thet went out of business.
