why are there so many reports of the product being bent, scratched, marked, or other wise used looking when recived? also why are most of the 5 stars unintelligent reviews that seem fake.

The knife I bought was in perfect condition and it still is it's 100 percent worth it for the price it feels heavy and world great!

Oh and one other thing. It comes in a little red flimsy box with a picture of a DIFFERENT knife than the one you are purchasing!! Seriously... I think these are made by drunk monkeys with non-opposable thumbs.. just a guess..

Possibly because they are?This is more of a show piece, I assume.If you want a high quality blade like a Kabar, then it is not also going to be as fancy.I am unsure if they even use anymore, but growing up in the 80's as an army Brat, Afghan steel was the best, And I believe .. well If memory serves.Kabars were Always Afghan steel.But since the world has been upside down i am sure of less every day.

I received mine a day or so ago. I bought it for my son's 13th birthday, so took it out to check it before wrapping it. It's a good thing I did, because it was really dirty with fingerprints and gunk on it. Where the blade swings out from the side there were globs of grease that were impossible to remove. Really gross... You certainly get what you pay for, so take that into consideration. I wouldn't purchase from this seller again, to be honest. Not sure why these all appear to be used knives... maybe they're rejects, not sure..

I think all the reviews and the fact they are posted answeres your question without your asking. You can make up your own mind. As with any company that has a reseller base why would Amazon want to antagonize their resellers? I am sure many have ignored your qustion as just not important. I thought you should read an answer from someone with an honest prospective who has never had your thought. Many of the pictures and videos are posted by customers.You seem to be focused on a picture of which you may not be familiar with its source. I rely on the revies more than what things look like.

Just because a product was offered at a discount doesn't mean the review is fake or influenced. It was provided at a discount to facilitate the review. This product happens to be effective hence the positive reviews from product testers. Hope this helps.

After reading your question I went back and read through some of the complaints. I understand how you would have some doubts. My product is purchased from an authorized Distributor. It is less expensive because of the high volume and because Tanning Salons need a high markup to pay for their operations. Amazon polices sellers by often making us prove product is authentic through submission of purchase documentation. The product is guaranteed, so if it doesn't measure up, return it for a refund. I hope this is helpful.

I agree, most of the reviews seem to be spam. A dead giveaway is that for most of the reviewers, this is the only product they have reviewed on Amazon.

I think it is very important to know this. I have lately received products that were seconds. I probably would have bought them anyway because they were defective in ways that I was willing to accept for the lower price, but there are other defects or substitutions that are not acceptable. Certainly fake or counterfeit products are not acceptable. This is important information to share in order make sellers responsible for their wares --whether or not the deception is intentional.

Be careful with that store. Reseller Ratings has them listed and the customer comments are concerning.

"Used very good" is practically brand new, very little wear and tear if any at all. At least that is what I got. I was tempted to look for a tag. A buddy got "Used good" and to mirror some of the comments it was dirty and faded, and missing a few zipper pulls, and a ripped seam. It was all fixed for less than $5.

It's obvious that many of the possitive reviews are placed on the product by the salesmen of the product. This stuff really shoots the credibility of Amazon's feedback- that in many cases is extremely helpful.

Your question is very valid. One can see that some products have one or two reviews and are both 5 stars. I Would that say those are definitely derived from interested parties in the sale of the product. However, as one of the reviewers who has given this product 5 stars, I can affirm that I do not have any ulterior motives for doing so. In fact, I use Moringa in two different forms, capsules and oil. I mix it with olive and coconut oils and apply it to my face, and it works wonders for me. So my 5 stars are legitimate.

Who cares. If it works then you can add a review. If it doesn't, you can get your money back. Besides, no one is trying to skew the #1/2/3/4/5 seller ratings, and no one is trying to take advantage, especially for 17.95

I personally don't think Amazon should let people review a product unless they bought it from them. The fake reviews can really skew a product's ratings. To second what Matt said, look for a trend in the ratings from verified purchasers vs. ratings from random people. :-)

Don't trust the top level good reviews, they are from "vine" reviewers who get free product and don't give ethical reviews. Ours had lettering rubbing off within a couple of months and failed after about one and half years with use just a few times a week.

You gotta watch what seller it's from. Amazon sometimes just like lumps all the reviews into one product page. If it ships from China, it's probably a bootleg. If it's from Japan, it's probably legit.

IN MY OPINION it's two parts. 1) Are the people that have never bought or experienced the product that just don't know better or bother to read reviews. They may also get hooked by marketing ploys about the "new and improved brass fixture". 2) The people that have purchased this in the past and been scammed by the product really hoping this "new" pro model is finally the real deal hoping the TERRIBLE bugs have finally been worked out. This is a great product concept and when it does work it is great. The problem is that it is NOT a quality item either in manufacturing or by design. I honestly want this to work and be a great product but the reality is that it's just not.

I would just read the seller reviews--if customers are unhappy with what they receive from that seller, look for one with better reviews.

Do your research and make sure the seller with a good track record (customer reviews) and their description indicates the condition of the product.
