And also like he says, this, miracle blade and the Ginsu knive infomercial are all basically illusions. You dont need the sharpest blade in the world to be able to cut through a pineapple. he completely damaged the knives but could still easily cut through food.

[@RJTheAlternative1]

He's clearly putting pressure on the bread look how white his fingers are

[@missyrose2154]

RJTheAlternative1 same with the tomato

[@A_Box]

Hello. I know your comment is old but maybe you are still curious as to what is the trick? How can they cut a tomato right after shaving some steel off from a hammer. It is not the pressure, nor how the chef handles the knife, nor a camera trick. The knife itself is not a single piece. The body of the knife is cheap metal. Then, just at the very cutting edge it has coating of titanium carbide (could be other ceramic but this is the most likely). See? The key word here is *ceramic*, much harder than metal. Not any ceramic either. The knives that you can get that have the full body made of ceramic are softer than the one on this TV add. This is because the ceramic that used in full body knives (usually zirconia) needs to be somewhat ductile so the knife doesn't shatter. This titanium carbide coating, on the other hand, only has to be really hard because the ductility is provided by the cheap steel. So of course you can cut through a hummer with it, it is so hard it is like slicing foam. The catch? The coating is brittle and it will fall off. The question is how soon. In a kitchen, that could take years. However, some abuse in the wrong place or just plain bad luck and you are stuck with a bare edge made of cheap steel and an edge geometry that is going to be a pain to re-sharpen. If you don't know how to sharpen or don't care about honing/sharpening a knife every so often then yes, it can be a deal considering a cheap knife and a cheap sharpening stone will be at around the same price. The only difference is that even a cheap knife properly sharpened can serve for years and years as long as someone maintains it. Of course, a cheap regular knife won't slice bread nor cut through frozen stuff so that if you plan to do a lot of that then the knife set from TV may not actually be a waste of money. Disclaimer: This much I have collected myself. Not any definitive proof but I can almost guarantee that this is what is going on here.

[@HarveyBacktheBeatles]

@@A_Box Are the miracle blades built roughly the same way?

[@A_Box]

@@HarveyBacktheBeatles Hi. I haven't looked into this particular one. To be honest, it sounds to me like a marketing gimmick. Chances are if this was on Tv it is likely overpriced. If you are looking for a good quality cheap knife, you are probably better off just going to Ikea. A lab partner got one for like $4 years ago. It had vanadium in it. The only catch is that you need to learn to hone it. You don't need to be a master knife wizard. Just touch up the blade from time to time. Also, you don't need expensive gadgets, a good steel should be easy to maintain. Hope this helps.

[@1SnuffySmith]

Hey you young whippersnapper, late night infomercials didn't start until the 80's. Before that TV stations either showed horrible old black & white movies or sign off around midnight with a video of some guy flying around in a T-38 with a voiceover of a poem about "breaking these earthly bounds". Immediately following was the national anthem, 5 minutes of blank screen and then static as the station quite broadcasting. You had to wait until 5 a.m. and put up with boring crap like the farm report or watch the weather. That consisted of a panning view of analog meters showing things like temp, humidity, barometer, wind speed and direction. No talking head metorologist, just background elevator music as the camera went back and forth across these meters for 30 minutes. In the 60's Ron Popiel sold his Veg-O-Matic in what was either a 2 or 5 minute commercial, nothing longer than that.

[@Dkazakis84]

The knives they sell seem to be pretty redundant. If the Showtime knife is an all purpose knife, than what is the point of all the other knives? For example, if the professional filet knife and the sportsman's knife basically do the exact same thing, what is the point of having them both? I thought the point of Ron throwing away that drawer full of knives was to imply that you only need one knife to do all your cutting jobs.

I have a set and I bought my sister a set quite some time ago now. Definitely beyond the warranty period. Many of the knives have rusted out rivets on the handles because the rivets are not stainless and water getting into the handle will rust them out. Thinking of grinding off the rivets, drilling out the holes and using aluminum pop rivets.

Man this guy just seems so ingenuine. Chef Tony was the man!

Idk why but like 6 years ago I used to stay up until 4 am watching this infomercial... I've seen it probably 10+ times..... Why did I randomly search it on youtube? I don't know.

[@ENTERTAINMENT35]

i did the same thing too!!!! back in 2003-2005 while at college in the middle of the night I always saw it and watched it

[@McNevetsII]

I bought these knives when they had a bogo sale. Spent less than $200 for both sets. Almost 20 years later, still using them. The steak knife handles all broke, but the rest of the set is still good as the day I bought them.

[@NoStress90s]

childhood memories, why were we so interested in this? hahahahaha

[@CrimsonArchon]

Because walmart only sells a crappy knife set with 8 knifes so its all about the knife block

When I was in college back in the 90s I bought a showtime rotisserie. It was delivered, but I lived in an apartment and somebody picked it. It took me three months or so get my money back, but Ronco finally sent me my one easy payment of $149.00. About A year later, I found a brand new one, The Jr. Rottiserie, I and must say, it cleans up very well and still looks brand new after over 2500 whole chickens dripping the fat after cooking in their own skin.

[@jakeornot6306]

I have friends who constantly flaunt their rottiserie, which they'd purchased at a thrift store, decades ago. (annoying)

[@daryladams810]

Rip Ron. Wonder if those knives are still for sale.

[@bv.6602]

Unfortunately not, Ronco filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy back in 2018

[@umtozzi]

the way poor Arnold says "wow" at 8:14, you can tell he's sick of this chick.

[@RJTheAlternative1]

she's annoying as hell

[@thegameshowguy1]

Yeah, that woman happens to be one of Ron's daughters.

[@maynardsmoreland]

1:32 you can see Cousin Arnold press into the tomato with his fingers, causing the hemorrhage.

Never realized how iconic this infomercial was until i was talking to my coworkers about old infomercials and this got brought up. "THEY JUST KEPT ADDING KNIVES"

[@hectorportillo2572]

This convinced me to convince my parents to get these knives, still have them to this day, chef's knife, and cleaver are pretty dull and I lost the chop and serve and cheese knife but the others are still in pretty good shape.

[@nunyabizness3882]

Me and my ex would watch these late at night sometimes, it was our little inside joke. She even ordered me a set as a joke for a gift. Lol

[@rarecoolitems]

Ron comes out with the drawer of knives - nobody has knives like that unless they are moonlighting for Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th on the weekend.

[@dw5000jf]

Just saw this commercial last night, hadn't seen it in years! "But wait there's more!"

[@zickykane5206]

RIP Ron. A true sales Legend.

The spray paint applied to the scalp to mask hair loss doesn't get enough credit.

7:15, he clearly smashes the loaf of bread with his left hand but acts like its the knife fault. This kind of thing is why I love informercials.

[@georgeferrall3322]

I really like that show I bin watching it since I was in middle school
