Re: Blade HQ credit card data breach

Many years ago, I was sent a phony Case pocket that was atrocious. Ebay told me that there was nothing they could do. GOOD-BYE Ebay.

Re: Harry's razers

I get 7 - 9 shaves per blade. I use their gel before shaving and let it setup for 5 - 10 minutes. Their 6 oz. tube of gel lasts at least half of a year. Seems to be a good product. Art

Re: Help with Amazon

I have been an Amazon Prime member since 2006. I have no complaints. The one time that merchandise didn't show up the day before Xmas was not their fault. It was the fault of the USPS (not enough manpower). Amazon gave me 2 years of Prime membership for free. What more can you ask for?

Re: Ebay makes me laugh

I USED to buy knives on Ebay with no problems. Then I got ripped off on 2 knives. Stretched photography and misquoted dimensions. It wasn't worth the trouble they wanted me to do. Erased all links to Ebay.

I got ripped off twice by ebay sellers. One knife was photographically stretched, the other not what I ordered. No more knives from ebay.

Mora Knife Oxidation

I went saltwater fishing about a week ago, but I took the wrong knife with me. I thought the blade was SS, but it had a CV blade. It was only in the water for about 5 minutes; it did not rust. But it developed a spotty grayish white haze on both sides of the blade. Is there an east way to remove the...

Winchester Knife

On the back cover of the August issue of "Knife Magazine", there's a one blade Winchester toothpick folder (W18 19100) listed for sale for about $155 from Blue Grass Cutlery. My collection of knives is mostly Case folders. I know nothing about the Winchester brand. Are they quality knives?...
