Loss-Loss, Win-Win - Delicately
Welcome or not here's my review that explains the rating of 1. To the degree that I was excited to behold and add this gorgeous EDC, I am equally disappointed when it arrived in the state of fabrication another reviewer described. What happened Spyderco? My EDC collection is growing in proportion based on the quality, designs, materials and fabrication from Spyderco (of course the other brands deliver). This particular Delica 4 Damascus, as it is shown at this website, is stunning, but, with this one plea: Please, Sir, can I have some more? Exception, the Delica 4 I received, in particular, the left side of the blade viewed, as held by one right handed, has a significantly sized lower portion of the blade fabricated with a simple. bland swath of gray along the blade where, as I would expect, the Damascus pattern was pictured as fabricated. Not so! The Damascas pattern failed to extend as far down the blade as possible before the edge. As for the Pakkawood scales combination, as designed; they present so tastefully. My loss. Yet, someone at Spyderco surmised that one side of a beautiful Damascus blade looking unfinished (emphasis mine) would not be an issue for the buyer who receives it. My reaction was instant - accompanied by regret. And, I wonder, Is it just one knife or the lot? The logic, presuming as I am, that it's either the lot or just my lucky draw. Or, perhaps a prior customer's return passed on to me. That would be unfortunate all-around. N'est-ce pas? This present model lot or this one Delica 4 Damascus that made its way to this lucky collector, I find, totally unacceptable. Spyderco, I am Immensely disappointed. Speculation won't help. A decision will. Mine was to request a return and a refund. And here's the saving grace, in my view: KnifeCenter, as I would have hoped, treated me and my request to return the Delica 4 with excellent customer service, good wil;l and I was granted the return for a refund including a return label. That's the win-win. Would I purchase a Delica 4 with Damascus Blade and Pakkawood Handles again finished properly? Without hesitation! I am also glad to be a KnifeCenter customer. Another win. Sorry for the rant.
