Conned into buying those knives? Surely they worked and always stayed sharp.
As far as I remember, yes. The infomercial is misleading though, in how many uses around the kitchen it is good for. The main knife is basically a slicing knife... the way the handle is designed, you can't use it for chopping. The pitch is that the set is all the knives you'll ever need, but that's simply not true. You'll end up having to buy a real chopping knife, like a Henckels with a full, curved edge as opposed to a serrated edge like the ginzus.
The build quality of the handle and blade itself is laughably bad when you see and hold one in person. I keep it in the garage to cut rope, etc. They're not good enough for kitchen use.
