I don't have a funny description.
I had an old Kabar knife and it was perfect. Then I gave it away to someone as a present and decided to buy myself a new Kabar 1217, thinking it should be of good quality, being made in USA and all.
Well, I was bitterly disappointed. I bought the knife from a respectable vendor and it was not a cheap copy, but it was faulty and looked like it was made in the worst sweatshop in China. I wanted a replacement thinking I was simply unlucky. Well, today I received the replacement knife and it still looks like the worst of what China has to offer.
Generally in the old days you could buy something of quality for a reasonable price. Not anymore. If you want something minimally decent you have to pay big money. Pretty sad.
