I believe those were the blades John Belushi used in the 1978 SNL "Samurai Histologist" sketch...

Ginzu blades...these blades are by far the best; I bought a set of Ginzu
blades for only three easy payments of $29.95 and they came with a lifetime
guarantee.

They slice, dice and julienne.

If need be, they also create surprisingly beautiful radish-flowers.

I can also vouch for the pocket-fisherman, it's also by far the best.

We have tried them all and always have gone back to the Accu-Edge.  BUT.
There is a new blade from Microm that my techs say is as good as the
Accue-Edge.  We are evaluating it in more detail before we switch to it
100%.
