Bloody cheapskate counterfeit crooks!! They boil my blood,I tell you :wack: :bang:
I think the deception may go further than the rearranged 'Nicholson' design logo. I'm wondering whereabouts in China is there a place called Mexico.
I'd be holding nothing back when expressing my dissatisfaction to the supplier,Steve.
......OZ.
vtsteam:
Oz there's a Mexico, Maine, too! :lol:
But we just have to find out what the heck this is: genuine quality reduction, or fake quality reduction.....
tom osselton:
What you have there is a double cut Chiwaawaa!

And by not cutting all the way to the end, they could save a little time, too. :thumbup:
(I've had call to use the very tip of a file on special occasions, now it's not possible)

That part isn't a defect or cheaping out, they are two different styles of files (mill vs lathe perhaps?). I recently helped a friend sort out a couple of tons of NOS Stubs files at his shop and some are cut to the end, others not. While we North Americans aren't all that familiar with the Stubs brand, our friends across the pond know them well.
