Update: The fine folks at BladeHQ have already reached out to me and arranged return and credit. Thanks!
I do not look forward to this return, however, I just know BladeHQ will make it right. Out of the new box I found the red finish on the lock bar was chipped in several places. Not ok, right? I sent a e mail to BladeHQ and I’m certain I’ll get to return it for exchange. Just hate to give it up just when I was getting to know it. It was simply a case of poor quality control and final inspection to send it to me. 🙁

That is how any new knife I get looks after one day as all my knives are users. If it is just cosmetic and it doesn't affect functionality at all, I'm good with it.

Of course, it is your knife, your money, and ultimately your satisfaction.
 
I’m being a tight butt I know but at 71 years old, I get crabby about Q/C and Q/A.

That is your right, and I support it. Absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out ANYTHING that is not done correctly.

My point was the knife arrived the way it would look after 24 hours of my usage anyway, so it simply saved me some "breaking in" time. Do not think for a second that I condone, support or generally turn a blind eye to shoddy workmanship - I do not. I just am selective in what battles I choose to fight these days....

Wise words! 👍
 
Ok my new friends, here’s my take away message. I’m NOT going to reorder the Torino. I’m a guy that helped Tesla build their Beta Fleet of Model S’s. The Torino just doesn’t meet enough of my old guy requirements. Sorry! 🙁
