you know what guys???..im really sad. i ordered some german knicker knives (known as knicker messers) from austria. thay had stag handles and werent exactly cheap. i asked when i ordered them if thye would look them over and make sure thay werent defective in any way. i was told the knives were good qaulity so it wouldnt be a problem. well 23.14 dollars of shipping later i received them and all three were rusted!!!..not only that the nickel silver pommels on all three wre nicked and dented, and one sheath was coming apart!!!...hmmmmm...i know that hirschkrone makes qaulity knives , but some how these fell through the cracks!!!!...ive e-mailed the people i bought them from, so far not an answer, i'll give them some time. my understanding so far is that if i want them replaced or refunded i have to eat the cost of shipping again!!!!...and at 23.14 dollars im no soooooo happy about that. I guess what bothers me the most was i asked them to look then over before shipping them!!!...after all austria is a very lonnng way!!!!...do you guys no anyone in the states i can get knicker knives from (they are sheath knives worn in the pocket of german lederhosen)???..i know matthews in georgia sells them, i know knifecenter has a deerfoot handled one, but i need abetter source, im at a dead end!!!!....please help????

well guys i heard back from them i was told that the person i first talked with felt they were good quality. hmmmmmm i rememberasking him to look them over for defects. i consider nicks, dents, rust, pitting, ect. defects!!!...what about you?....ive seen these brand of knives , i also had bought some while i was living in wiesbaden, Germany. NEVER! had i seen any like these!!!...after some polishing i got the rust off, still some pitting though (i used a dremel with jewelers rouge,buffing wheel, and water). the pommels though are so badly nicked and dented if i try grinding them out there will be nothing left of them!...theyre about the size of a nickel, and as thin as a penny. well thay offered me 10 eur dollars back on my card. and for those of you who dont know 10 eur amounts to about 7.50 us currency!@!!...mmmm..that doesnt sound like compensation to me!!!....well i asked if they could at least send me another sheath to replace the one thats coming apart., they said they would. all i can say is that this has been a very expensive lesson to me for buying things from over seas where there are not any good consumer protection laws!!!....(i shouldve learned that from the lesson of living in Germany, i knew of some who had problems, but i never had while i was there, germnany, and austria are preety much the same in alot of respects, you cant mention hitler what he did to the jewish people ww2 ect. its against the law, and you can be fined or jailed for it for speaking about it in public, anyway excuse me guys im just a little burned right now, i appologize). i guess ive learned an expensive lesson!!!. all i can say is buyer beware!!!!. i wont mention their name here out of respect for them. i can at least do that , even though they lied to me.
