Just be wary of those types of people. It’s like the truck selling steaks that are from some farm in Montana, and it’s all just marketing.
Thousand dollar vacuums that work really well, but they are just doing creepy marketing to people who can’t afford it, and then they get them signed up on loans, and they make profit off of selling the loans. At 19 I applied for a job with a place like this, and they were ponzi schemes and very shady. I quit as soon as I saw his bullshit. I stay far far away from multi-level market type of people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing
You can get much better knives for the same price from companies who actually make good knives.
My aunt bought them from her daughter’s boyfriend - I’m pretty sure he didn’t stay a boyfriend! But like I said - as kitchen knives they have lasted a long time and still are in good shape.
My heritage is Norwegian - so growing up got lots of hunting knives made in Norway. They have all been of good quality and hold an edge really well.
