cutlery corner todd,tom,sheila. not new knives,i can tell wax papper wrapping been wraped,unwraped sveral times.damaged merchandise Internet

i bought a hen & rooster salt water mother of pearl barlow for $50 from cutlery corner,when i recieved it the box it came in was in mint condition,however the wax papper wrapping that the knife was wrapped in was very worn,you can tell it was unwrapped and wrapped numerous times.the knife itself had two large crack's in the pearl handle.with the box being mint,it told me that the knife was shipped in that bad condition.there's no way the handle could recieve two large cracks in the handle and the box not even having a crease or bend in it.needless to say i wasn't happy.i payed $16 shipping when i bought it,so the total was $66.i sent it back and waited 8 week's and heard nothing,i called and they said they never received the knife,so i just stopped buying and let it go.i also bought several knifes without knowing they were made in china & afghanistan.todd said it was german stainless which it was,he failed to say the steel,frame and final assembly was done in china.also many knives had scrathces on them.one of my blue bone steel warrior trappers had a big splinter type crack in the handle.a red,white,blue bone knife i bought had a spacer that was loose in the box,many knives didn't have new or proper packaging ect.i think alot of stuff they sell is from a display showing,not new.a few of the blades also had grinding gouges on them.how did they get through inspection.be carefull with the country type names the give their knifes,most are made in china,here's a list of some of the chinese pocket knives.steel warrior,lucky seven,beaver creek,double warrior,uncle lucky,bear&bull,ckerokee,duck brand.all the rapid oppening knives.if you don't see them on the hen & rooster or case turn table,very good chance their chinese.don't be fooled because the show is from tenneesse with some good ole people hosting it,ala todd,tom,sheila travis.try knivesrus.com or budk.com.i bought some knives from budk.com.they were kissing cranes in exellant condition,no scrathces with new original paper wrapping on them.also the chipaway brand is chinese.
