Thread: Ebay fail!!!

Well ... More like buyer fail!!! I didnt read the description entirely! At the bottom of it said minor crack!
Not happy! I thought i was gonna add a 3rd Henry to my collection and a blue steel none the less! Gents! Read! Lmao!

Learn from my mistakes

that sucks !! ive bought without reading before also .. it turned into a great lesson for me , ..lol

Ouch!! That's a bit more than a little breadknifing is going to fix... said captain obvious!

Man that's really too bad cuz otherwise, its a great looking blade. Sorry about your luck .

at least you have a nice set of scales to salvage...

I have made a couple of goon purchases too. That should be fix-able...fail. you have a lot of company I expect

I think you want to look at it as getting a very good lesson on the cheap.

I've done the same. Bought a cheap razor that was pretty dirty in the pic. No big deal I thought, I can clean it up no problem. As I was cleaning it I found a crack pretty similar to the one in your pic. Plus, the scales were crap too Lesson learned and I now have another tape cutter for honing...

That's a shame. I've seen some people turn cracked blades into mini razors, but in this one the cracks is so close to the toe that I'm not sure if it would work. You'd also lose the etching.

Yes, I've been caught as well with not reading listings properly. Hopefully it's the only time you make that mistake.

I was so happy when it got here! I love Henry Sears! My wife says "nice razor... Did you noticed it is cracked!!!???" :/
Yep! Just noticed it! I told her!!!
I have bread knife some razors and made some shorties but i think this one is done... Bread knifing this one will be too much and the angle too steep! I might still do it and use it to cut tape for honing or something!
The scales i was able to salvage and mount them on another henry that had broken scales ... So not a total loss
