I just got a little laugh from rakuten.com's listing of a knife I first saw on japan-blades.com. It's called the UD-Grip and it's a kitchen knife with a sort of d-shaped handle that can be used in a couple of different ways. But Rakuten, which is the Japanese company that now owns buy.com, lists the blade material as "Hiker Bonn stainless steel" and it took a few seconds for me to figure out what on earth that was supposed to mean. Hiker Bonn is all over that site. I just saw drill bits made of the same "steel". With the hassle I got from rakuten a while back over a purchase I made and paid for over two years ago (when it was still buy.com), I'm not surprised that they think Hiker Bonn is a kind of steel.

Just found it amusing is all.
 
That's hilarious. Sounds like someone needs to submit an ID10T form on their whole marketing department.
