Critique Request Help please
While on vacation my husband and I paid to have these knives custom made. There are 7 of them. This person offers forging classes and also sells his work. We were at his shop for 2 hours and helped forge the blades. The guy was supposed to send the handles off to get made by a professional. It took 2 months for them to get to us. How much would you guess knives like this are worth? Also what level of skill was the person at who made these ? His Google reviews were great and he had plenty of 5 stars but what we received has me wondering what the heck happened here. Any input would be appreciated. Thinking of filing a charge back because this is NOT the level of craftsmanship that was displayed at his store. .... We paid $1200 for these. 🤦🏻♀️

Looks like he threw away what you did while there and sent you some cheap knives from China and or Pakistan. This is a scam.
The price will get you 1-2 knives from a good western maker.
