On my weekend camping trip, I was very looking forward to trying out some of Mempa's knives and tools, but unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to my expectations at all. Although they have an outstanding range, the quality of the products did not live up to the expectations set by the company. The knife that I purchased was not only dull but also difficult to use, and I discovered that I needed to sharpen it on a regular basis. In addition to that, the service that was provided to customers was subpar. When I finally did get a response to my request, the representative didn't seem to have a lot of product expertise and it took a while for them to get back to me. In all, my experience with Mempa was less than satisfying, and I will be seeking elsewhere to satisfy my need for outdoor equipment.
