If you haven't had prolonged exposure to US TV you can't understand this reference. My memory is quite vague about it but I think they used to throw in a set of free ginsu knives (think sushi) for people who would buy some crap on the TV shopping program. The general idea of ginsu knives is to entice prospects (mason users) to adopt a product (Mason 1.15) more readily by adding to the package an unrelated free bonus (Dave's joke about ginsu knives ;-).
