What should the fourth blade be? 🤔

I personally would appreciate a decent spoon. And something else instead of the comb, maybe a toothpick which can be used to nail sausages or something.

I don't disagree with what you are saying, but until you know the manufacturers specifications how would you know if it was built properly, or not?. .. Your opinion and Joe Blow's might be diametrically opposite....

I worked in heavy manufacturing all my life.... When we built a product the customer knew every dimension, tolerance, surface finish, material specification, etc, etc he was paying for.... Quality was very simple; either it met what we said we're producing, or it didn't....

So my point is you and I are customers buying a product that we have no idea of how it was supposed to be built...... It's nice when we get something that meets our expectation...... But the manufacturers won't tell you what their build specs are so how do you determine accept or reject?....

The industrial manufacturing is a different thing, where customers order something specific. But with knives it's like with every mass production item you buy in supermarkets, hardware stores etc. They just put out their goods, you choose, and then you just hope that manufacturer made his job right. I mean, it's a mass market, so no specifications can be applied by the masses of consumers. That's why, in that case, they are consumers, not customers.
