I just got back from the local Chinese summer night market. There was a booth in the corner with some kids selling knives and swords. All of the $50-and-under China import variety. I took a look at one that had a cord wrapped handle. It was a long piece of junk, with some kind of star-trek shaped angular blade with strange cutouts in it.

"Nice hunting knife, eh?" the first kid says to me.

"What's this for?" I asked, pointing to a random looking cutout on the blade

"Hunting!" he says. "I dunno, something for you know, hunting."

"Ah, I see. How much is this one? Oh, $25, very nice."

"Yeah, it comes with this 'sanding block' for sharpening too!" Pipes up another kid.

"Ok, cool. What kind of steel is it?"

"Stainless!"

They had enthusiasm, I had to give them that.
