    Default Nice blade but weird 4th pic

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=014



    Can someone tell me what’s wrong with the 4th photo? (...count from 0-1-2-3-4... the one with the pic of the blade only)

    Looks like a different blade... with the top part of the notch cut off?

    Or is it just me aging eyes?

    It looks just like the other photos except for the notch... I am no expert but i never seen a blade with the notch cut out like that (though someone could do it on purpose).

    ... spent hours trying to figure it out... just doesn't make sense.

    It's the combination of the shadow, and angle of the shot. If you look closely, you can see the outline of the top of the notch.

    What interested me most, was the stamp on the tang. Still quite visible "under" the bottom of the angle. On most (if not all) of mine, anything stamped below that line has been worn away by honing.

    Very nice indeed (at least it appears as such).

    Hmmm... you may be right about the notch, angle/shadows in the image.
    It is a decent razor tho... too bad the price is going out of my reach.
