Thread: altered blade on friodur

I bought a motorcycle once off ebay, and it was ok but it wasn't anything like as clean as it looked.

Ever since then, I have always questioned pictures. These days, If I'm not sure, I ask for more pictures or with razors I hold a straight edge to the screen and see what's going on - which is surprisingly effective!

Well, happy ending. The guy immediately told me to send it back and he'd give me a refund including postage. Totally classy guy.

Seraphim was right - at the right angle you can see uneven honewear on the spine - I think the stainless makes it less obvious. This is probably a honey of a shaver to motivate someone to so zealously, but tragically -unevenly, hone it so much.

Oh well, live to fight another day.

[QUOTE=gregs656;397876] I have a smiling 9/16 that did have very similar wear to that, less so now but it's still there.

yeah, the blades with smiles are tough to hone perfectly evenly, so I'm less inclined to be ****y about those. I doubt my smilies will be perfectly even in 30 years.

but the straight ones - hey, if I can hone them evenly, so can everyone else.
