Wortools 10 Inch Middle Eastern Sickle

If there was a rating of (-5) stars, i may have checked it off. In the specs. it was noted that the weight was 2 oz. When I saw that, I just thought it was a mistake , you know, maybe 12 oz. The “sickle” is 4.25 oz, yes, slightly more than a raw QUARTER POUNDER!. Not “aesthetically pristine”????? Are you kidding me? It’s downright nasty, it’s rusted, discolored, dirty, greasy. And, last but not least, I finally figured out what the wooden handle reminded me of: you remember the real real light balsa type wood used for cheap model airplanes that came packed in a plastic sleeve and cost about 49 cents? Well, it’s back. Oh yeah, 1 more: My review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the “made in china” sticker. It’s so large it wraps half way around the handle! Do you think someone was trying to distance themselves from this piece of trash? In fact, I was going to put it in the trash, but I was ashamed to put the trash out for collection for fear that the trash collector would see it!!! It would actually make the rest of my trash look good. Maybe i should!!!! PLEASE, before you buy this thing, take the 8.99 and give it to the Salvation Army volunteer standing in front of your local mall. You’ll feel good about it instead of feeling ripped off again. In all fairness to Machete Specialists, i’ve always received quality products from them no matter what i purchased. I’m sure it will never happen again, i hope.
