A quandry

[jonesjp@surry.net]

I purchased a knife second hand. It is handmade by a well-known new maker.

It is nice, and has some problems that I doubt seriously are caused by wear, use, or abuse. It is just cosmetic, and doesn't have impact on the knive's performance in any way.

Do I write a review including photos of the flaws, or do I contact the maker first?

I'm interested in everyone's opinions, but especially you knife makers. How would you handle this situation?

I am not a knife maker, my opinion is that I'm all for resolving any issues with the maker/manufacturer behind closed doors. It's a good place to start.

Contact the maker first, no question about it IMO.
