Vector is indeed slimy and essentially fund there operation on the backs of students desperate for money (they only pay per hour for actual appointments, you could phone for hours to book an appointment). However, the knives aren't actually that bad. They are considered about on par with Henckels. The thing is why sit through some hard sell presentation when you can go down to any department store and get an equal or better quality set of knives?

Thank god I never worked for them. I laughed when they tried to recruit me.
