seems like people either say yay or nay and that's mostly because they either receive a sharp or dull one. how can I know that before purchase?

I've known people who said they had to return them twice or more before finally getting a sharp one. I wish I had known that before I spent 6 months in sharpening.

What would that matter? My weapon, make no mistake this is a weapon,. Came sharp but I sharpened it further.

I can't speak to what other reviewers received but I can tell you the item I received a was a Doan's. My advice is to stay away from sellers that are way below the price that other sellers have the item listed at. If the deal seems too good to be true than it probably is and you should look elsewhere. Good luck to you and I hope you find what you're looking for!

I can answer your question as it applies to my own personal experience....yes.I can not answer for others who have bought and received this item as their experience may have been different.

I heard the same thing from a Best Buy salesman. After reading all of the negative comments, I'm not so sure.

Mine was very sharp. Not razor sharp, but certainly so sharp it had to be handled with caution right out of the box.

Okay so here's a nice and straight forward answer. IT DEPENDS. Maybe some buyer was being really cheap and wanted to save $2 and bought it from some no name seller and got a water down cologne and hence you see the negative reviews. Buy your colognes from Amazon. You always get the real deal.

I purchased one, and it has a strange glare to it. I had to hold it at different angles, in order to read it. Mine came out of the box defective also, so I really didn't have time to see if it was a good product. But, it has recieved a lot of good reviews.

Instead of searching for more positive responses elsewhere as suggested, be cautious in your purchase. Is there a pattern here? Yes. Does the manufacturer stand by the product? Not so much. Maybe you need to evaluate this against reviews for other gen sets.

Yes, I now agree with you. I was in Best Buy today and was comparing the Sony to the others and I must say the Sony was a standout. The Sharp was kinda of washed out and very pixeli (is that a word?) while the Sony was very bright and crisp in ever kind of action.The Glare was much less noticeable then the Sharp even, but to be sure the TV are in the back of the store and I had to make sure to get the Large overhead lights to reflect in the screen to compare the TV for glare.I have decided to go with the Sony.Thanks everyone for all your input to my question.

You'd be hard pressed to find objective reviews...all of these products are relatively decent, so the main considerations are going to be the price, and how they sound to your ears. Honestly you should try to find a store that lets you compare them.

This may depend on who you buy it from. As you can see from the reviews, some people got one (i did) and some did not.

It really depends on the batch you get. That's why everyone's answers vary.

imu lu, You are assuming people read all the reviews. Many read a handful of reviews and look at the percentage of star ratings as overall view of item quality. "What's useful about reporting the fact of a delay to potential purchasers is that a delay sometimes indicates the product may have performance problems when it ships, that the bugs just couldn't all be worked out, and that it may not hold up in service.' Or it may not . Giving low stars to something you don't own, because it might have a problems is silly. Every purchase we make carries that possibility.

The "dull" feel may be a bit misleading. No, it's not like a razorblade(thank God), but I think they are sharp enough. Try to slant the blade, e.g. cut tomatoes et al at a slight angle. Or prick the tomato with the tip of the knife and then slice.

I agree. I was just going through all the reviews and the majority got it for free or were not Verified Purchases. With that in mind, I am now skeptical of all of their products. Companies should realize that this whole paid review process can backfire.
