I just received 2 new knives I ordered from Tactical Wholesalers last week. I got a Fallkniven PXLwh (which I've been extremely excited about getting) and a Spyderco Caly 3. The Spyderco has a weird wavy line on the upper edge of the double bevel. Not a huge issue I guess, but it's not right either. The Fallkniven was supposed to come with a removable pocket clip, but did not. The bigger worry with the Fallkniven is that it has 4 bluish spots on the blade, two on each side. Here's a couple pics:



These spots aren't (seemingly) structural, they're just aesthetic...but I spent pretty good money (for me) on these two knives. I hate to send them back b/c I've been badly wanting to get them in my hands...and I'm impatient, but I'm not sure what to do here. Anyone know anything about what these bluish spots are (they don't wipe off)? Are they common and I just don't know it?
 
The wavy line on the Caly3 is likely just a lamination line, no worries there.

The blue spots on the PXL are strange. I would contact the seller and ask for a replacement. Alternatively, you could email Peter at Fallkniven and send him the photos; he will get back to you and let you know what to do. I had an issue with a DC4 and emailed Peter, he responded to me within a day and sent me a replacement from Sweden. Great customer service.

Good luck.

Tactical wholesalers and Fallkniven both responded to me in an extremely timely manner. All issues are corrected.

Tactical Wholesalers advised me that I need to contact the manufacturers, that they have the items shipped direct from them -- and they also offered to get involved and push the manufacturers to remedy any issues if they did not do so on their own (which fortunately they did). Fallkniven responded immediately. Turns out it was just hot oil spots. They told me to wipe with soap and water (vs the dry wipe I was using before) and the spots came off in seconds. Love the Fallkniven.
I appreciate Tactical Wholesaler's good pricing, quick shipping, and timely response to my issues.

Thanks again for the advice!
