Thread: The Wall Of Shame

True that, @engine46. Reminds me of one eBay seller of Japanese westerns who spells Nile razors 'Nill' instead. To be fair, the word "Nile" is in cursive and the 'e' does look similar to an lower-case 'L.'

Yes it is. The seller chooses to post the questions asked by the potential bidder or not.

Reminds me of that tortoise shell clock that JokiJo posted ages ago, lol. This sort of misidentification is so harmless and common that I just ignore it

Hmmm... there is a possibility that what appears to be a heel-hook, could actually be a visual artifact. A reflection of grass, or trees? After all, the bevel would reflect light (and thus partial image) at a different angle from that of the belly of the blade.

The image is either not captured in a fine enough quality setting, or high enough resolution, or the camera is not on a tripod. So I am basically just playing "Devil's Advocate".

But it is a bit of a shame that the slight smile has been honed out.

Sointenly it is a possibility!

Yep, yep...
