I bought a "DOWN UNDER bowie knife" from Stauer.com, the product they sent me was made in Pakistan instead of Taiwan, not made by "Down Under" company. The box of their product clearly prints "Stands Alone Chipaway Cutlery", not "Down Under" branded knife. On the product listing page from Stauer.com, the description was nearly identical to "Down Under" official website, therefore, I believe Stauer.com had every intention of selling this knife as a "Down Under" product, even though they know very well their product is counterfeit. I thought about keeping the knife when they told me I had to pay out of pocket to return the product, but the extremely low quality of the product would make it a danger to its user! By comparing this Stauer product to my authentic "Down Under" knife, the sheath leather is half the thickness of the real "Down Under" sheath, and Stauer sheath used painted FOAM spacer instead of leather, I don't think the sheath will last very long... The knife blade is made of low quality metal, which flexes easily by hand. I worry it will snap in half if I continue applying pressure. The real "Down Under" knife does not bend even when I stand on it...! The Stauer knife's blade is half the thickness of a real "Down Under" bowie knife, and it has black chemical stain all over the blade (not the pattern, but actual spot stain from poor craftship), one big black stain on the hilt. The blade doesn't hold edge once I start chopping. On Stauer's website it states this knife is made of 420 surgical stainless steel. I find it laughable. Although I cleaned the knife several times, my hand smells like rusty metal if I touched the blade. I browsed through Stauer's website, and noticed many of their products lack detailed information such as product origin, inaccurate material information(in my case). For the listing price on their website, you could buy a real nice product from a recognized brand like "Down Under". After back and forth communication with Stauer.com, I learned they will refund only the product price, but I would lose the shipping charge and return shipping charge, despite the fact they are selling a counterfeit product. I advice anyone planning on shopping at Stauer to be extremely cautious...! read more
