I trust a Kershaw knife from a trusted seller (Blade HQ), but Chinese branded knives off of Ebay? I trust those about as much as I trust my Pawnshop "Spyderco"... Or the "Rough as a cob" "Cold Steel" "Ti Lite" counterfeit that I got off ebay last year.
But if anyone here has a negative opinion of Blade HQ, I would question why they were here... I would buy an "upgraded steel" knife Either Blade-HQ, From Midway-USA or directly from the manufacturer, because anywhere else I'd have to wonder if I were actually getting what I was paying for.
But as a note I buy from Midway-USA, because If they are "trustworthy" enough to buy explosives (technically, "Propellants") from, I can trust them to sell me my CS Recon Tanto, or an Estwing Axe, or even a Spiderco PM, when I again feel the itch...
Besides, the price of most Spiderco knives gets to the $50minimum to reach free shipping when they have free shipping "special" (which they seem to do about every holiday or each six weeks or so.)
I never seem to have a problem "making minimum" when they have their "free" hazmat shipping (Which is usually $100 minimum) as an 8lb canister of most IMR rifle powders run just over $200
