Thread: take a close look at this

i'm perplexed by this ebay purchase...has the right name, had several other bidders...doesn't look right or feel right to my admittedly untutored eye. the stamping is not clean and crisp, the little ridges (and I know there's a name for them) are muddled, the blade appears to be plated and not very well polished underneath the plating, the wedge is loose and the thing feels a little light in the hand. what do you think. and i'm annoyed that my $1000 canon with the fast lens can't go in on this, and when i blow it up in photoshop i get 18 megabit images which i'm sure no one appreciates.
