Today surfing e-bay I found few very nice knifes (MOHAWK & SEAHAWK). From the description I found out that it was Tom Anderson collaborations (with Master? cattery). If the price was 2-3 times higher I would definitely jumped on them but for the 10$ I have some doubt about quality.

So, I have 2 questions:

1.Anyone actually have any of these knifes ? How good/bad they are made ?
2.Any online retailer has them ? (I did on my usual places and found.. nothing)
 
I have some doubts about their quality, too. I've never come across anyone who carries them. I just searched Ixquick and found:

Whaddaya think? Like the man said, "Buy quality and only cry once!" :D
 
I haven't seen the Mohawk yet, but I have come across several Seahawks. Let me put to you it gently.....It's a piece of s*@t!. Do yourself a favour and stay away from it if you value your fingers. All the models I've sampled have alot of blade wobble which you can reduce a bit with a hex key, but do not put any faith in the locking mechanism. I've seen some that close up on you as if the lock were never there. There is no consistency in the quality. If you want to spend $10.00 on a knife, get an Opinel or better yet, a Frosts Mora knife.
 
The designs are cool and thats where Tom comes in, the quality is Shi-ty and thats where Master Cutlery comes in. :)
