Flawed handles

Looked good worked well on an initial test sharp blades the blade faces aligned close together flat. When it came to real use they were flawed. The handles are held on at the bottom by placing the metal cylinder of the handle over a plastic wedge attached to the tang of the blades. One side of one plastic wedge was pale white not dark blue like the other side and did not press with pressure against the bottom of the handle tube, so on closing the handles to cut, it came away at the bottom. I suspect they are seconds. I repaired them with a bolt through the handle base and blade tang. I'm getting very wary of Amazon sellers.
