Perhaps you should have your essays, claims, and proof all together before posting such an inflammatory title?

Simultaneously, how do your scabbards fit together after practice? Or do your hilts begin to vibrate like toys? You have also had a few pieces, so how do they fare after 6+ months of use?

None of that is the point. The point is that it's irresponsible to attack a vendor (or anybody!) with an inflammatory post and then essentially say, "Stay tuned for more information." That's not the way a review should work. Have everything put together before posting, so you can back up your claim.
This is not currently a PSA. It's an attack on a vendor without any evidence.

Let me add that I'm not doubting your experience with the sword(s), either. Indeed, there's no way I could reliably do so since I have nothing to base it on.

OK, so that's why I see so many staff on. Bye now!

At this point I’m not going to do anything with this thread although it seems to be headed downhill. The mods are aware of it and are considering what action, if any to take. If there is an issue, we do not want to suppress honest information posted in a proper manner. Changing the name of this thread would be a good start in that direction.
I do strongly urge everyone to read the post below before continuing. So far, the ice is quite thin.sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/8506/update-slander-policy-read

Update...
I've edited the title of this thread as the original title did not adhere to forum rules or standards.
This post is also an official warning to the OP. The link in the post above (posted by a moderator) clearly outlines what is acceptable and unacceptable.
Posting an inflammatory title to a thread and then hinting at an inflammatory review to follow will also not be tolerated.
Any further violations WILL result in the termination of the OP's forum privileges.

I do strongly urge everyone to read the post below before continuing. So far, the ice is quite thin.sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/8506/update-slander-policy-read I do agree with alientude that I should have refrained from posting until I, ya know, post everything. But there is a lot to post. And no, this isn't vendor bashing and all that. And given all the "oh boy!" first impressions posts that circulate wildly...perhaps negativity comes as a shock to fellow hobbyists. That's cool. It's a "buyer's guide" forum after all.
If I may, to break the ice, I have experiences that I will document that are contradictory to the supplied "youtube" samples provided by a current darling of market opinion.. When it comes to Chinese swords, if Scott Rodell is skeptical, that it a telling sign. I'm no expert, however I'm offering a criticism, and I should have bothered to compile a full review rather than a "stay tuned!" post that some consider inflammatory.
I will bother to post a full review (full of critiques) and I want to further state that redacting the title of this thread further enables the capacity of a certain vendor to skew discourse favorably as they are adept at making use of social media to market products.

Respectfully, I believe this last statement is utter nonsense. If you have a serious review to post, please post it. If you believe LK Chen's reputation is built on the positive reviews of YouTube reviewers who were sent free samples and think this skews public opinion, then that is worth discussing. Beginning the conversation with "LK Chen SUCKS," which is both derogatory and infantile, and then expecting the reader to circle back in a few days to read your review, is not reasonable.
I had an issue with BKS a few years ago. My thread was titled "Issue with manufacturer." I provided receipts of the issues I faced, asked for guidance, and documented my experience. I did not say BKS SUCKS, but come back in a few days and I'll explain why. In the meantime, feel free to discuss.
You have the means at your disposal to make your voice heard and document your experience. You have a well documented voice on this forum with over 2,000 posts. If you want to move people with your ideas, then you ought to discuss them. Resorting to name calling and providing no evidence is not a way to convince others that LK Chen's products are inferior.
