I asked him if it would shave.
He said;
It is sharp, But I am not sure

At least this week he isn't listing it as "pristine".

Well, he had to shave test it for our inquiries. They really depreciate after the bench grinder.

I think the funniest part of that description is "I think it has been sharpened..." LOL.

I really started twitching when I read "...THE ONLY THING THAT IS WRONG,IS THE BOTTOM HAS SOME GOLD OR BRASS ON IT AND IT IS BENT TOGETHER AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES.THE BLADE IS IN GREAT SHAPE, I THINK MAYBE IT MAY HAVE BEEN SHARPENED."
I guess using all caps helps sell it better. It seems so because that old saying about a "greater fool" may have just kicked in. Someone actually bid it! I really hope it's one of us and the buyer raises holy hell once it arrives. I'd do it myself but someone as unethical as that seller wouldn't think twice about leaving negative feedback an ruining my 100% rating. Well if it's a real bid then we won't have to look at it again.
