I am retracting my earlier statement that the knife is defective. That was a bad choice of words on my part.
The knife functions as expected, but there are areas where the knife is not polished. I believe this is what MA wanted LQMT to fix. You can look at the link below for some more pictures of the knife and the polish issues. Either the polish areas where not clearly spelled out or RSM missed it.
For the record I an not complaining about the knife. I am glad to have it and hopefully I will get some photos of the MA direct knife for comparison. I understand this contract will not budge the stock price, but hopefully it will force LMQT to work the bugs out at RSM. For me it is a puzzle to solve and since Steipp won't answer these questions on a CC. I'll get them myself.
