Highlights
Quality
Excellent fast service a very good product

The product seems made of good quality and the price is reasonable.
Packaging/appearance
Delivery was quick and packaging was minimal.

Cleaned off the oil and scraped off the protective coating.
Nor is there any mention of the best way to remove the coating.
Competitiveness
From personal preference i used some paracord instead of the supplied chain to attach the striker and steel.

The shaft material is quite soft and when it well worn it will need supporting at the back
