Thread: warning trick photography being employed

15/16 or 7/8 is still not 13/16 And beware the Japanese apparent habit of removing or lowering the heel!

Here are his pictures. They should be arriving tomorrow do I'll post my own pics soon. Since he doesn't reply should I just give up on my $6 he saved by combining shipping?

It will be interesting to compare your pictures.

What is so hard about manning up and showing a profile photo.... Ppl should force his hand by avoiding till things are on the level. It's not like ppl wouldn't buy blades with hone wear, they just don't command the same premium.

That looks sketchy, just the way that the second photo is and the angle it is at leaves me with a bad taste...

My opinion....

Small alteration at the heel. Nothing too terrible. Was probably a square point that has been rounded off. Shows slight discoloration.
Scales have been inscribed. Note the Friodur emblem and the pins have turned dark. The scales are breaking down. That would be why the blade shows some discoloration. Stainless is resistant to corrosion, but not impervious to it. Polish it up, and do not store it in a sealed container or next to non stainless razors.
I think you paid a fair price, for the condition its in. Its not mint by my standards. but its not bad.
Of course my opinion is just that, my opinion. it is also void if I am looking at the wrong auction!

It was attempted to be delivered today but I was at school. I'll pick it up from the post office when they open and let you guys know. My fingers are crossed!

Don't you just love that feeling of anticipation.

Full refund today from EBay less than 24 hrs after sending my questioning of the purchase to seller,
Original message was to wait a week until the 21st for a response
No word from seller & can't leave negative feed back as it has been resolved by EBay

It's kind of weird how Ebay resolves it and poof it never happened. Mine started with negative feedback, but I bet that vanishes the second Ebay resolved it. He must do some crazy volume for it not to effect his bottom line or his relationship with Ebay. My whole experience was quite odd and left me feeling put off. No attempt to communicate just drop the cash and make it all go away. It seems corrupt or not above board.
