Maybe a crystal dropped on them after a carefully staged photo??
Was I the only one to realize how he OP spelled response in the title?
THAT'S what you find most questionable about this thread?
j/k
I got my knife yesterday, the service was impeccable from start to finish and even included a shrink-wrapped shipping box, never seen that level of detail before. Couldn’t be happier with the service.
It isn’t the fanciest or the most expensive knife, but it was exactly as described and with that kind of service if I ever want to upgrade I know where I’d be comfortable going.

Did the OP get his screws? Thought he was going to edit the title.
Since he didn’t get the expected commiseration with his absolutely horrific experience.......after spending a gajillion dollars, I doubt he’ll return.
Sometimes people are just bad customers.
I better take a "Jackass" pill, ya' think?
Fortunately posts in FEEDBACK: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly! most often get results.
Message received from LionSteel yesterday:
>>Dear Customer,
I saw the pictures attached and I can only think that the countersunk screw located on the back is too high.
Today I send screws of different length to solve the problem.
Thank you for activating Lionsteel warranty, please keep this e-mail as proof of activation.
Best regards

Very simple, two of the knives received were perfect in every aspect, the others were allowed to slip by (no pun intended) Quality Control by LionSteel then again unfortunately by the dealer.
Nothing personal towards the dealer or LionSteel but the product needs to be checked thoroughly before allowed to ship out to a dealer and then to the consumer.
As I mentioned in the first post in the thread, some people hate anything that is not a glowing, gushingly positive post within FEEDBACK: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly! that is inevitable and unfortunately expected.
No response to Junior Detectives, Conspiracy Theorists, Fanboys, Fangirls, Trollettes, Name callers, common schoolyard bullies or the little bullies that always come along and hide behind them, no response.
When I receive the replacements, I will ask B.F. to remove this entire post as it appears my objective will be met.
'Steven65' no photos will be erased as nothing warrants any photo erasures.
