Kind'a cool stuff, and I could almost get myself to spring for it (even at the crazy prices listed)--but then I started watching the video and became violently nauseous and threw up all over my keyboard--and buddy, I hadn't even made it to the half-way point yet!
God save me from one more commercial from yet another millennial duchebag trying to convince me to buy his or her overpriced shit-I-don't-acctually-need product with the same, trite, transparent ad nauseam pitch about how they (yada yada) for years and finally decided to (yada yada) reinvent the wheel on their own, because they just couldn't find a decent (yada yada) so they borrowed money from their mom, and decided to get all Steve Jobs/Steve Wozniak about it by creating their own (yada yada) for the rest of us, which in reality turns out to be a website-only company who's sole purpose is to convince us to buy their version of (yada yada) stuff I already own, and have owned for years (ala Tommy John's underwear, Boll and Branch sheets, Bombas socks, etc, etc..)! Only now it's a bunch of fancy gourmet chefs knives I can take with me when I...go camping?!!!
No wonder all of my camping trips have been such disasters--I've been packing the wrong damn knives all this time! Quick--take my two-hundred and forty-nine bucks and make me a whole person again.
UPDATE:
I see MD, in their infinite wisdom, chose to omit the nausea inducing promotional video (I referred to above) from this iteration of the drop. Well don't you fret boys 'n girls--it's still available on the mfg's site!
Grab a barf-bag and click this link, where the inventor will explain the rational behind the product, and demonstrate it's use!

RayFWhile your comment is valid, is it possible that you may have some animosity against millennials that may have manifested itself in your comment? I saw the commercial and all I saw was some guy who was trying to sell some folding chef knives made from quality materials. Aside from the fact that he was bending backwards and kissing his own ass half the time, I thought that this was a novel idea.

My animosity is towards cheesy cliche marketing in general. I'm equally annoyed when I hear 76 year-old Joe Namath hocking Medicare insurance on late night TV. Perhaps the issue at hand is that the millennial generation are now at an age where hocking stuff is how many of them hope to make a living? Trying to influence young people to buy stuff they probably don't need, or in some cases isn't good for them, has never been limited to any particular generation.

TomBombadilThat is so clever, do you learn all of your social skills (or I should say lack of social skills) from TikTok?

TomBombadilThe source of the phrase is TikTok. And use of a pejorative based on old age is a violation of the federal Civil Rights Act

PNWNativeOk Boomer. I guess shitting on millennials isn't agist and I guess it applies to me because I'm a workforce or government agency. I guess the first amendment doesn't matter when it hurts your wittle feewings. I'll just be in quarantine awaiting my subpoena from the speech Police while you wring your hands angrily like a choad.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I guess it applies because age is a STATE of mind.

TomBombadilMillennials are not covered in the federal Civil Rights Act and the LBTGQ are not either. I love it when arrogant people like you (based on your actions not age) regularly engage in hate speech and are totally ignorant of the law.

TomBombadilMixed signals, because you cannot understand why you read yet you call me dense. You are so dense you don’t even know what is in the FCRA, a law on the books for over 60 years. There are no mixed signals only your ignorance. Use of “OK boomer” constitutes hate speech. I’d tell you to go back to school to learn something but it appears you didn’t learn the first time so why would anyone expect the second time to be effective.

PNWNativeI think @TomBombadil has been fibbing to you about his age. Judging from the photo in his high school yearbook, I'd say he's more of a Z-boy than a millennial:

PNWNativePeople over the age of 40 are covered. Many millennials are in fact protected by this legislation. In a couple of years, a large portion of millennials will be protected, or close to it.
OK boomer isn’t hate speech, but it could be used as evidence of age based discrimination or harassment (no, it isn’t an automatic conviction) directed at people over forty (boomers are certainly over forty). You wouldn’t go to jail, you could just be sued. Dismissing your opinions as archaic isn’t harassment, but bullying you for being a boomer is.
And you’re right. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act doesn’t encompass sexuality because it specifically covers age, and the 60’s Civil Rights Act doesn’t specifically mention sexuality (although it’s largely been extended to include it- that is, until the Trump administration went with the whole ‘original intent when it was written’ argument- I wonder if they’ll use the same logic for laws protecting gun ownership, predating most of the weapons we have today?). And it’s a problem, because 28 states have no workplace protections for people based on sexual or gender orientation.
But I like how you bring that up unsolicited, as if to scream
”HEY, I’m an old fuck who likes to weaponize the law to attack people I don’t like, and only support civil protections and liberties so long as they don’t help anyone but me!”

MasterSquinchI feel sorry for you to be so triggered this early in the morning about a comment that is months old.
EDIT: the age war has arrived for the Millenials, Gen Z doesn't trust or like them. Welcome to the age wars, something that has gone on for generations and generations to come.

PNWNative”I’m sorry you’re so triggered”
Says the guy bitching about “ok boomer” being hate speech, and smugly asserting that gays don’t have workplace protection like it’s a personal victory.

I read it the day you posted and wrote a big damn reply --and it's not there!
Don't know if I did something wrong or this damn site ate it?
Very disappointing--now I have to retype it all over again!

Last try, ha. Many thanks, I really was afraid it sucked. I guess a lot of people feel that way when they're doing something they're not sure about... a few friends did tell me it was adequate. I was hoping it made you want to run out and buy one ;-)
