Stealth Knives

Unfortunately, as nice as it would be to have a razor sharp knife for 25 years without sharpening, this is not the case. This type of marketing is sad really… and even sadder that people believe it!! I dull a ceramic knife to an unacceptable limit in about a month. And when this “stealth” knife gets dull, I am assuming there is weaker steal underneath since it’s just coated. Not to mention I doubt it is sharp to begin with as the coating would round the apex.

in that larger pic it looks like it has been sharpened revealing the steel underneath. that’s interesting.

If i were to spend this kind of money I would go with some decent quality japanese made chef knives that are proven. Not this marketing hype.

“There’s a sucker born every minute”, often attributed to PT Barnum who was overshadowed in more recent times by the “Wait there’s more” campaigns of the hucksters selling Ginsu knives. The marketing geniuses of the stealth knife are just trying to cash in on this phenomenon. For an interesting read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginsu
Not that I would really advocate it, but for the money, I think a set of Ginsu cheapo knives and a decent steel may be a better option than these over priced and over hyped stealth knives in the long run. My sister in law actually has a whole set of the early Ginsu knives and she loves them. The only reason they cut at all is the exceptionally thin blades. I keep my mouth shut when visiting and occasionally make use of my pocket knife if helping in the kitchen.
