Thread: RSO received as a gift

My lovely wife thought she had found a great gift to give me...opened the package and pulled out a leather sheath with a straight sticking out. The tang was pattern welded steel. Oooh! what have we here? Pulled it out and thought the pattern in the steel was cool. Handle was interesting, around 3/4 of an inch thick at the spacer. Hmmm , balance was really off...oh and the spine was super thin (a little less than 0.10"). Started looking closer and noticed an area of the bevel at the tip was blue from excessive heat and an unfilled gap was between the handle and the liner. The wood spacer was significantly longer at the bottom than the top...?...Oh, that's what's keeping the blade from going through the scales







I could get this knife sharp, but it will never shave, and every time you close it the tip will be dulled by the spacer.

Hated to disappoint her, but this needs to go back. I emailed the vendor to see about them honoring the 30 day return policy.

Worst thing is their product description talks about improving your shave experience with an heirloom razor.
