Sad story with a happy ending. I'm old enough to know better.

A couple of days ago I was placing an order with Amazon and noticed that they had a Schrade 4 blade "camp knife" that was close to being a duplicate of the old Camillus "Demo" knife. I did some quick googling and determined that the Amazon price was good, and being a Prime member I do not pay any shipping. I had chores to do outside so quickly clicked on the "Add to Cart" button and checked out.

Yesterday Vern (our UPS man-in-brown) dropped a bigger-than-expected box at the side door. My wife retrived the box and asked me what I'd bought. I said, "Oh, I guess it must be a knife." She gave me the "you're a dead man" look and said, "Just ONE? It feels like a bunch of knives!"

Last night I finally got around to opening the box. Pam was right, it was a whole lot heavier than a camp knife should weigh. I got worried that maybe I'd accidently ordered six of the knife.

Well, inside the box was a

a BIG, monster fixed blade knife with interchangeable blades and tactical-like Cordura sheath -- not at all what I was expecting.

I went to Amazon and figured out that they simply had the wrong picture mis-matched to the item description. Or, vice versa, depending on your point of view.

As always, Amazon Customer Service was fantastic. Instead of asking the obvious question: "Yo, Dummy, didn't you READ the description?" they were sympathetic and admitted it was all their fault. They provided a shipping-paid return label for me to print out.

So again I learn: The devil is in the details!
