Figli di Sicilia?

Post by arlen »

What is the quality and craftsmanship of Figli di Sicilia (Sons of Sicily) knives? Are they worth acquiring or they lacking? Is this a manufacturing company or cooperative? Does the quality vary according to type or size of knife?
Regards,

They are Chinese made knives sold by a crook.
The name is simply something the crook made up.

As far as new knives, Walt's and AGA you can NOT go wrong. Grab the Walt's why you can. When these sell out it will be years before you see them again. I bought an AB from a Chinese sight, don't remember name, but 2 days later my bank card got wiped out.

Not to mention the AB stiletto you bought was probably fake.

It was. Never ever deal with DHGate. I gave it away. Was supposed to be an AB 13" Kris blade with snake wood scales. It was junk. I should have kept it as my tinker knife. Take apart, alter, reassemble.

Sorry you had to learn the hard way. If you had made a post about dhgate you would have been better informed before you bought anything off that site.

I am sorry also. But when I bought from DHgate I was a rookie. Did not know of this site. I just looked on internet for stilettos. Only paid like $40, I should have known better. I got what I payed for, and they stole everything from me.
Live and learn.
