Ironic or just mean?

I ordered a Kershaw knife from Amazon. The packaging has me wondering. It came in one of those bubble padded envelopes. Normal enough and easy to take care of. it was what I found inside that got me shaking my head.
Someone had taken the knife, in it's little Kershaw box, and wrapped that with packing tape. Then they put it inside a plastic bag and wrapped that with packing tape. Thus, ensuring that the only way to get to my knife is..... you guessed it, if I had a knife.
I mean, yeah, I had my choice of about a dozen knives within arms reach, but still.

They wouldn't want someone having easy access to such a dangerous weapon. Look at the UK.

it is my belief that someone, somewhere, un-named and location kept a military secret has invented a clear see thru Kydex plastic wrap for tools.....bought a punch set from Lowe's that was encased in such a material...needed a chain saw to cut thru to get the punch set out.....

Which is why I ALWAYS have a knife clipped to the right front pocket of my pants.

Yep. That's the only way I've found to open my hearing aid battery packages.

Printed on the package:-

"Instructions to open inside"

Printed on the package:-

"Instructions to open inside"

Or, "Open at other end" Printed on both ends.

What, no instructions written in Chinese?

I like keeping original boxes. Wrapping it with tape probably damaged it.

 

[Spurdann]

That is why I buy directly from the website or another retailer. I really don’t need to buy gas for bezos yacht.

I have a Stanley box cutter that I keep next to my recliner.

For protection? I have a violent rocking chair, myself.

I cannot say I have a shortage of knives....but there's always another on the horizon.

I started using one of those folding box knives for opening those dadblasted plastic encasement devices.

Biggest lie in the world: "Tear here".

I HATE packaging.
