Hi :) First off, I'll say how much I love this site, and the store! I think it's great to have such a fantastic, good quality resource for people :)
I was looking around at the athames, and the prices are so low! I'd expect to pay at least double for almost all of them, if not more for others. My question is, for such low prices, how good is the quality of the pieces? Not that I'm really complaining, haha! It's just, for this kind of thing, I want to know 110% what I'm getting. Usually I would go to a store and buy one in person, but where I live, there's nothing here! Might be easier if I had a car...LoL.
Anyways, thanks so much for your help! :)
I've ordered from this store before (Azure Green, who supplies the stuff sold here, from what I can tell), and everything is really nice. I've never gotten their tools, but if the other items are an example of their quality, then I would say the tools should be of good quality and very durable. And if it turns out they aren't, at least you didn't waste too much money!
I've spent a lot of money on Azure green, through here and through before that, through their catalog I used to get. The quality is really good, although I have to say be weary on buying the necklaces, usually the chains don't hold up to well, so maybe buying a little more expensive chain elsewhere is more advised. I bought a necklace one time and the chain snapped before I could get it around my neck, so...just really use common sense when purchasing things.If you are hesitant there could be a reason for it. I'll continue to buy from azure green though, they have a lot of wonderful items I just love.
When looking at the athames remember this, top quality knives can sell for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. These are obviously not those types of knives.
These are decorative, ceremonial knives, perfectly fine for cutting when required, but don't expect a hundred dollar knife when you paid 20 for it.
Thanks everyone for your great feedback! I still haven't decided if I'm going to buy any tools yet...I might keep looking around, but I still love it here! LoL.
I think the best way to get what you pay for, is to buy insence or books. Personally, I've gotten both from here and other places and have not had any issues.
I, also, have purchased items from this site. Let me just say that I have received the items sooner than expected, they've been very good quality, and I am still using them.
