What Vendor or Manufacturer put the “Big Scam on you.”

Here is my experience with Frost Cutlery & Hen & Rooster. I purchased like a Big Dummy a Kitchen Set of 5 kitchen knives and a stainless block from them believing I was getting a Solingen Germany made product. Upon arrival I unpacked the box which I over paid UPS for to find a Big Made In China set.

I called and complained and was told that it was Solingen Steel but made in China.

I have collected knives for over 50 years; some of my best Slip Joints are German made knives.

I gave the set to Good Will, they weren’t even sharp.

I now I am not the only one here. POST THEM.

This should go in FEEDBACK: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly! As the heading says: This is your area to tell about your experiences (Good or Bad) with dealers, sellers, and individuals you've bought, sold, and traded with. (Moved from the General Knife Discussion.)

I would've sent them back to who you bought them from.

There is no such thing as Solingen steel. Solingen is a city in Germany with a lot of knife factories but no steel mills. All knives marked "Solingen Steel" are fakes.

Same applies to "Sheffield Steel," by the way, and "Swiss Steel" on imitation SAKs.
