Does anyone have experience with the Master Grade stainless tools? I've been pondering an order of a few pots and a few tool upgrades. I don't mind spending $50 ea as long as they are quality. The cheap carbon steel concave cutters that I bought locally last year are already showing wear after only a few uses. Thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dario. Does the black steel retain a blade better than stainless?

Yes. But note that there are different grades and the best Stainless is better than so-so black steel. Kaneshin is a great brand (one of the best actually)...you should have no problems with it. :)

Well I got my pots today and none of them were broken, which is always a good sign :) I really like the quality! Going to be ordering more!

LOL...what happened to this? ;)

I said "share the love" but I didn't mention anything about pots :)

ARGH! Those stands are tempting me. It makes it a lot easier to dress up a private indoor display area at those prices and they look plenty nice enough for that.

I did not find this "troublesome" but I wanted to let you know that I got a "your order has shipped" email AFTER my pots had arrived. So I got two shipping emails - the first On Wednesday the 29th (from the USPS) and the second on Monday the 3rd (from you directly). My pots arrived on Friday the 31st.

You need to work on your percentages on your soil mix, unless you really are giving 110%.

When I ship the products I email you so that you know that it is on its way. There is a place on the administrator site that I have to close the order and I guess it sends another email when I close the order. I wait until I have confirmation that the order is received before I close the order so I can double check that it has been received. I will see if there is a way to not email when I close the order. Thanks for the input.
