Vic quality slipping?

[Marius]

My experience tells otherwise:

- Lateral blade play: check (58 mm, 91 mm, 93 mm included).

- Dulled blade tip from slapping the backpring/spacer, from factory, with mark on the hit metal part: check (91 mm and 93 mm).

- Wood saw closing on (and damaging) liner: check (84 mm, 111 mm).

- Orange peeler/scraper MiniChamp blade closing on liner: check (new Cellidor MiniChamps).

- Space between scales and exterior liners, scales not flush: check (84 mm, 91 mm, 111 mm).

- Longitudinal blade play when locked: check (111 mm, both liner and side locking).

- Large blade scrapping on awl/awl scrapping on blade on 93 mm: check.

- Nailfile scrapping on blade on Cadet: check.

- Electrician blade scrapping on main blade: check.

- Wrong tools mounted: yes! Example: MiniChamp with two emergency blades (at least good not with two cuticle pushers).

- Bent blades from factory: check (58 mm, 91 mm, 93 mm).

- Dull blades from factory: check.

- Scratched Cellidor handles and scratched anodizing on colored alox: plenty of...

etc

Fortunately there are still plenty nicely done to forget the duds. Unfortunately defects like these tend to be more and more frequent as production costs are lowered.

I am still a fan though and enjoy collecting despite the flaws sometimes found.

Oh that one does happen and Ive noticed it.  It is rather annoying and the liner part should have more space under the blade.
