I picked up this bundle of knives last year

I got them on sale for $30 and figured I couldn't go too wrong because they had good reviews.

Took the heaviest one underway with me on the boat and it rusted the first day I got some salt spray on me. I was super angry until I remembered the comments about that happening. So I did some parkerizing while underway by putting some vinegar in my nalgene and letting the knife sit in it for a few days.

It came out slate grey, needed an edge put back on it and oil. Since then I have had ZERO complaints! I have beat the snot out of the heavy knife and used the other two around the house and office. I ended up giving the smaller one to a coworker because their blade snapped while unpacking crates. He let his rust so I showed him the vinegar trick and now he loves it too.

Their handles are budget but their steel is fantastic! I would recommend these to anybody that is looking for a good working knife.
