Reply to comment by TokaMonster in Best set of chef knives ? by MatineHen

I'm not a fan of MLMs to start with, so they have that going against them. For a stamped knife out of mild steel, they're way too expensive - the Victorinox is a better choice there. In fact, the Misen knives are forged out of better steel, and still cheaper. Then there's the hollow-ground edge, which I plain dislike. Then there's the fact that they have a great sharpening policy (free for life except for shipping costs), but you'll have to use it too often.

Bottom line: There are better knives for less money that don't involve questionable business practices. They really don't have anything in their favour.

I see. I had only ever seen their website and had gotten a few of their knives from my grandparents. I had not messed with the MLM side of their business.
