Good But Bubbles in Manufacture
Purchased for Escrima training and staging for protective purposes in areas that can be affected by extreme temperatures. Cut clean to preferred length. Chose to discuss the bubbles that show after trimming length and learned that Cold Steel has been acquired by a holdings company. Reps were polite and willing to refund but disinterested in adjusting manufacture process to solve the issue which they assert often happens in this kind of plastics molding. The bubbles are too abundant and too large - this may affect product claims in some listings. That all being written for potential buyer clarity, the stick is very useful, durable and pleasant to use. We have 5 of this same model after adding one from Knife Center and will be keeping them in use and ready to hand. The slight heaviness beyond most Escrima sticks per length is good for some applications and can help with development when transitioning back to standard weight ranges.
