    Default Well repaired toe chip! I almost missed it!

    Have a look at this one people.

    I'm no expert but I think there is a good chunk of metal that has been glued back in place at the toe.

    Check the rear images showing something stuck to the back of the blade, then look very carefully at the front image... You can just very faintly see the bit that has been put back on.

    I dont know if I was looking and wanted it it would have fooled me. There is a funky spot on the backside that does not look right and with the poor photography its easy to be deceived. Its good to have a few personal safe gaurds when buying on fleabay. I would not buy from a vendor that does not take returns or that says look at the pictures very carefully to determine condition and the pics are bad and not very many and worse is this vendor that has all deceptive practices. I just put a bid in on a razor then noticed it had a jagged edge(very bad, dont know where the brain was) I contacted the seller explained my mistake, reminded him it was not included in his description but I would honor the bid. He told me if I wanted him to cancel the bid he would. I thanked him and he canceled. Buyer beware.
