    Default good condition my butt!

    Oh well, what shall we say about this? Good condition?
    Does the seller honestly belive that the blade is supposed to look like that?

    To bad to see a good Clover ruined, though.

    I like how the main picture has a reflection from the flash that nearly hides the problem.

    I guess some people need 3" wide hones! They can't work out how to hone the whole blade otherwise.

    That is a "special" contoured blade, applicable to that "special" face and A ONE OF A KIND. Get em before they're gone.

    Your kidding right.

    I would totally get that if it was cheap and grind the heel off. It looks like there is enough steel there to get away with it.

    What was once a 5/8 or 6/8 will now be a 4/8 but it could be done. I'm just saying.

    Perhaps "good condition for restoring" would be more accurate. It definitely needs help, but it does look like the steel and the scales are in nice shape.

    Or, if you have a striated face, this blade may be for you.
