Is the blade damaged, looks like it is in the pic as for the clicker knife i have one i have to undo completely to slide the blades in work a treat though. JCUK Yes, even with the handle completely undone one half of the jaws are so tight that I can't get the blade in there. The other half is fine. I can't try to fix it here at work but will try tonight when I get home. I think that even prying that part open by banging a screw driver blade in would do the trick. Shouldn't have to do that though. Relatively minor, but gee, it was bloody dangerous how they packed the knife. The mailman will tell me next week when I see him what he ended up doing. I would expect he needs 3 or 4 stitches at least.

When I purchased a used round knife the seller was smart enough to make a sheathe for it out of cardboard and duct tape. Wow, sorry that happened! Yes, you'd really think a company which specializes in knives and sharp tools would have a better idea of how to package the stuff safely. It's one thing for the products to arrive damaged, but an entirely different thing when people get hurt.

I look at that photo I posted of the blade sticking out of the box and I can't stop hearing the theme from Jaws. I don't know about Covid I've had it and it didn't make me stupid. I'll bet it surprised the guy like jaws too. I use a few layers of painters tape over my blades when i send them and that is inside the sheaths. Bubble wrapped tight. Anyway i hope you can fix them up easily that tip will need some work for sure..

kgg Posted September 17, 2021 Report Posted September 17, 2021 It really doesn't say much for their quality control which in turn would also make one wonder about their manufacturing process quality controls. Hope they send a replacement with safer packaging. Hope the deliver person is OK. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
CFM tsunkasapa Posted September 18, 2021 CFM Report Posted September 18, 2021 I bought an ULU for my wife as an anniversary gift. Dumb shit on the other end just taped it between two pieces of cardboard, The CARDBOARD arrived just fine, never did see the ULU. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

They are by Mundial^. They cost me £12 each and I've ended up with 3 (don't ask). These scissors can cut through thin sheet metal as well. For curves I don't do anything fancy, I just grab a plate, a bowl, a lid, anything that has the right curve to it, or even just fold a bit of card in half and cut a curve by eye, trimming it to tidy it maybe*. Then draw around it. Using a pen to mark the leather gives me a more solid line to follow. Also, as I'm very colour blind I cannot actually see a scratch mark on leather * if I'm going to make more of the same item I keep that card pattern shape ^ similar https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mundial-2-inch-Red-Dressmaker-Shears/dp/B0009VEM54 I use shears also Cutco 77JE $125.00 usd Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M

I didn't think I'd have to mention this, but of course, in addition to the cardboard sheath, the guy that shipped mine also wrapped it in bubble wrap, and put it in a bubble envelope to make sure it was well-padded!
