    Default Another one to avoid ......

    From the seller's description I don't think he is clueless ....... more like a fox at the hen house

    Looks like a "special grind" only done for a few select top of the line Ebay offerings.
    YMMV

    What? No way! It's "almost restored" after all. Kinda wondering what happened to that old thick blade that he had to grind off the heel. Poor temper caused a crack maybe?

    I'm really surprised there's actually a bid on it.
