Everyone knows that the best steaks are born, slaughtered and grilled in freedom-loving countries. (U!S!A!.... U!S!A!...) But, what about steak knives? Could it be that a good steak knife could be manufactured by workers who are unenlightened by or indifferent to freedom, democracy, and free markets? By workers who know nothing of two inch thick, 32-ounce, dry aged, prime porterhouse, seared over mesquite!? By hands whose ultimate purpose is to turn us all into tofu-loving, godless, Marxists?What about a steak knife that pretends to be made in a socialist pseudo-democracy like France but is actually made in pseudo-communist China?
To be frank, these Freedom-hating knives appear to be manufactured to adequate tolerances. Their unserrated blades are seductively contoured... just like a paragraph out of Mao's Little Red Book. And, like Communism itself, these knives are certainly capable of cutting deep into red-blooded American flesh. A thousand cuts can be inflicted by these knives, facilitated by the full tangs, bonded to black polymer handles by what appears to be three metal rivets. And once their dirty job is done, the stains of their carnage can be remorselessly erased by a quick trip in the dishwasher. (At this price, who cares?)
Pro: Reasonably well made... how good does a steak knife have to be, anyway?
Con: Says "MIU France" but made in communist China.
