What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I wouldn’t think twice about that blade. Those are not really scratches, they look like that from grinding the blade, probably on a belt sander. Being a work knife, they intentionally did not polish it out, as they would for a safe queen. I could be wrong…
Did the pictures online show that level of finish?
Great looking garden knife, regardless.

Yes, the pictures online show that level of finish. imo, the reply from manufactures just means they think I am 5 years old.
I even had bad dream last night, dream that I found a craftsman engraved trout on my knife to cover the ugly "scratches". - what a good idea ?

But I really cannot image this is a high-end knife they agree to deliver out that represents their attitude, quality control and branding image.

By the way, since you mentioned it's looked like from grinding the blade, do you think there is a way can fix it? I though can polish it or grind it again, but maybe the engraved text and icon will be removed as well?

thank you for the reply!
 
I found my grandads knife knocking about today, he used to look after his horse picking out stones from the hooves etc. I am rendering a house today, and I thought what better tool to flick out any stray stones. All the flipping joints are loose, but so what.
One of my earliest memories is of sitting beside the coal fire with him whilst he heated up the poker to red hot hot in the fire and then used it to stir up his pint of Guinness,
R.I.P Grandad.

I don't particularly like GEC's linen micarta but I do really like this harness jack, and it's red, which also makes me happy.

My Mayo Clinic newsletter reported yesterday that frequent feelings of awe and wonder are good for your health in specific measurable ways.

I had a cousin like that; he was given two months to live and lasted something like six years, getting better and travelling and curating another exhibit.

Both of these again, even though the shield is loose on the yellow one from a fall onto tile. I should have picked it out and glued it instead of pushing it back.
