    Default calling a dime a quarter?

    Do ESPD have jimps? I though they didnt. So do you guys believe this is an ESPD? Not that i fully understand the differences between the models anyways, and would fail a blind test when push comes to shove (which i suppose is what the lucky winner of this ones in for

    Seems like the seller is just trying to raise the price, but i have been wrong before.

    No way to be sure, since someone ground all the markings off the blade. Might not even be a filly.

    There are jimps on a EPBD. This is a pretty reputable seller who seems to have a boatload of Filis. Usually on the EPBD there is a rubber tang cover..I don't know if there are markings underneath and i'm not gonna cut mine off to confirm

    You can see the faint image of Filarmonica on the blade.

    Yup, its barely visible.

    There is no writing under the rubber thing as far as I know. I've seen one or two where it had fallen off or been torn, etc...

    What worries me about these blades is if the person doing the grinding ruined the temper of the blades. What do you guys think?
