Warning about e-bay sgian
My wife bought me a sgian for Valentine's day from a seller called Scottishitems on flea bay. She is now spitting nails because of what they sent me. Their product page for this can be found here: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=7389772002
This thing is of very poor quality. I expected ****, but not this bad. I've had some really nice **** steel in my life. This thing has an injection molded plastic handle for spork's sake! No edge on the blade, the harp decoration was melted on with a propane torch (I can tell, because the finish on the harp has bubbled, like all cheap plate does when subjected to high heat. Sheath is also made out of injection molded plastic. They've updated their page to say that the handle and sheath are plastic, but my question is this: since when is something that is injection molded "hand-made?"
Oh well. Her heart was in the right place, and the upside is that the part that will show out of the top of the hose doesn't look bad. But do beware of that flea bay seller, they sell crap and are proud of it.
