I handled a few Frost Cutlery swords today (they were being returned), and literally had to wash my hands afterwards. I don't know if they had lead, or some kind of sulpher in the "steel" but my hands stunk.
Oh yea, various bits a peices just FELL OFF as I took them out of their individual, previously unopened boxes. Unbelivable how they get away with it.
The guy who originally bought them paid almost $90 for I think three alleged swords.
