See here and read all the replies because there are links to lots of pictures of Canadian made Rocnas versus Chinese made ones, says it all really.

Have there been any bent shanks this side of the Atlantic?

No, just bent politicians.

There's a lot of emphasis on weld appearance.That can be very misleading.A good looking weld is not necessarily a strong one.It takes cutting and etching the weld to assess penetration.And crack testing is also a good idea.The Chinese welds don't look any weaker to me than the neater Canadian ones.Only proper testing will tell for sure.
