Ginsu Knives Still Going Strong
12:14 PM PST, 2/17/2009
The Ginsu knife is a product most famous for the activities that were used to promote it. It was made famous through a series of long-form advertisements in the 1970s and it is claimed paved the way for the modern day infomercial with its use of quirky catchphrases, comical quips, and urgent call to action, including the phrase "how much would you pay...don't answer" and "but wait, there's more". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginsu)
Can you believe that one of the first ads for Ginsu Knives was back in 1978.
See it for yourself!
Back then you could get a 10 piece set for $9.99. Today, you can get a 20 piece Ginsu Knife Set (Block) for only $21.99 when you shop my store. Sure, times have changed and prices have gone up (slightly), but the quality of a Ginsu knife has not changed.
To get more details on the 20 piece set for $21.99, be sure and view my listings.
The Ginsu Story
"Several decades ago a knife was created that is to this day known as the "Sharpest Knife on the Market". It was the Ginsu knife. Ginsu knives are a symbol of ancient Japanese traditions. The Samurai sword is renowned for being sharp enough to cut through anything. Ginsu knives were created to reflect that same quality, in craftsmanship and sharpness with Japanese stainless steel that will still cut through anything. The quality of Ginsu knives is not only known and respected by consumers, but also by all other premium knife brands. Bring home the quality and sharpness of Ginsu cutlery today.
"
Surely, you can see that when you purchase a Ginsu cutlery set, you are purchasing quality.

Cammo Gear Duffel Bag Luggage
9:17 PM PST, 2/3/2009
Maybe you never considered shopping for Cammo gear but maybe you will now. Once you've seen some of the sharp Cammo style gear being made in the Luggage industry you may reconsider the style of carry on bag you take on your next family vacation.
Duffel bags have become the staple of travelers today. Why? Easy, airlines are now charging $15-$20 for your checked suitcase so people are doing everything they can to avoid having to wait in the ticket counter line and check a bag. Why not do what you can to carry your things with you and avoid the lines and the fees. Problem is, what carry on bag do you choose to use when you want to carry as much as possible, yet still be able to get it on the airplane as carry on. After all, with everyone trying to avoid extra luggage fees, more people are taking carry on bags so the space in the overhead bins is going to be very very limited.Airlines now only allow, one carry on bag and one personal item. For me, I MUST have my lap top with me so I choose to use my lap top Messenger bag, or a good sized backpack as my personal item (easy to put my wallet, cell phone, and make up bag in it). With the important stuff covered in one of these bags, I then carry a 20" carry on bag with some clothes, bath products, and 1 to 2 pair of shoes. I have also gotten very good at carrying Travel Size Sample Size products in my carry on bag so I don't need to weigh down my bag with full size shampoo and I don't violate regulations when going through security. I don't have a Cammo Print Bag yet, but they are more appealing every day. Imagine not having to worry that you pick up someone else's bag, or they pick yours by mistake. Imagine the horror of getting to your destination only to learn you have someone elses bag and clothing.
Take a moment to view my listings and see what you think about the Cammo Print luggage duffel style carry on and luggage sets I have listed.
