I believe it is one of the few tools of its kind that does not have welded parts. Even a Greek company that has been in the field for years manufactures them with welding, and yet they are sold at a higher price. As can be seen from the photos, the tool must be handmade and forged, with no compromises on its quality (The change in color is due to the fact that as soon as I got them, I applied a rust stabilizer-converter). The only thing I would like to point out is that it is slightly smaller than what I am used to, otherwise I am satisfied. Congratulations to the manufacturer and congratulations to the seller who chose it and keeps the prices reasonable.
