Shoddy knife from Amazon

[maddave]

SWMBO just bought a small folding knife from Amazon from a company called "Want It Now" and it arrived today... I actually laughed aloud when I saw the state of it !!... She definitely doesn't "want it now" It's going straight back with a stern letter... Check out the pic !!!

Got a link to prevent anyone else from repeating the experience?

They seem to have reduced the price funnily enough. It was £7 when she bought id (why do they never ask us what we think before buying?? sigh)

Here's the link

*edit... Even the sales pic looks awful !!!

oh dear... thays in a sorry state!!!

 

[Darwa]

At £3.56 delivered, I'm tempted to get one as a project. I couldn't possibly make it any worse than the original state!

The steel probably won't be much good either at that price.

That's hideous!
Looks like something that you'd find in your grandad's tool box, made from monkey metal by real monkeys and decayed into that state having spent fifteen years at the bottom of a poisoned canal, been recovered and then rattled around in a cement mixer for a year or two.

How can they have the gall to sell such tat?

You going to do a review of it for them Dave?

 

[Dave Budd]

like they say, "you get what you pay for"!

Folding tent peg?

that looks the same as the cheap nasty knifes you get from the d.i.y store in the markets for £2

 

[Samon]

That sure is terrible!

I can trade you this knife if you like, it's a german hunter lock knife. Very slim and of reasonable quality! (the wooden scaled one in the middle)



Trade value I'd say would be shy of a tenner and it'll do alright for a cheap pocket knife.

I persuaded her to get a joker in the end lol

I thought that's what she got you the first time? No, wait, that was a clown. Sorry, my mistake.

That's worse than my Arthur Wright Lambs foot. Mind you if the blade and edge are straight it would be better than my Arthur Wright Lambs foot.

That's a beauty. Can't figure out the rest of the 'somewho who' though - do me a favour?

Do you mean SWMBO? It stands for "She Who Must Be Obeyed"!
