Shoddy ChiCom workmanship results in massive explosion and loss of life

[evenflow1969]

Tell me about it, garage sales, flea markets, and estate sales are the only places to find anything good. I live in the country's largest cheese manufacturing state and when our cheese cutter bit the dirt, I couldn't even find a new own. Walmart was supposed to have one that was made in China for about $8, but they've been out of them for months.

Then I found these two at a thrift store for $1 apiece: Made of metal, not plastic, and one can be adjusted for thickness...

I see one I will stop and see if they have anything worth purchasing. My last find was a solid cherry bedroom suit. Bought for next to nothing. Took me a month to refinish. It turned out really well. If ya saw my bedroom ya might think I had two nickels to rub together. Problem is ya gotta walk through the rest of the place to see it. The rest of the place looks like that of a recently divorced man. Lol. All my money is in boats and fishing tackle. That is profiting now at least. This was the first year since the divorce I didn't have to get into savings to pay the bills since the divorce. Better days ahead. I hope. You Wisconsin boys tend to be really good at jigging for walleye. Are you good at it? Come March there will be more Wisconsin and Minnesota license plates in my area than Ohio.

Any pizza cutter in the 1970s I ever saw would be junk these days. I think I just threw one of them out a few years ago. Stamped wheel cutter sharpened on one side held on to a crappy handle by a cheap rivet.

The cutter I showed is in the luxury item class made of forged and machined heavy stainless, milled parts, garolite handle with copper/brass/ bronze decorative pin. Made to last a lifetime and beyond. The entire thing is machined to disassemble for cleaning and cuts with ease anything you can fit under its wheel including whole sandwiches.

Where was it made?

If you say china it was a western design made to western quality control standards that we taught the chinese

Well to be truthful, I moved here from Texas back in 2007. I love to go fishing but never seem to make it to the river every year. And when I do, all I catch are Redhorse sucker fish.

I did spend every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday driving all over the place to garage, yard, and estate sales for years, but quit when it became unprofitable.
