I don't know. You guys seem awfully critical of this one. It looks like one of the nicer Filly's I've seen. The blade has a beautiful custom curvature to it. The scales do not appear to show any cracks. And the box has been restored with great precision. The seller even guarantees that the blade and handle are in great shape. I don't know what more you want here. I would buy it except for the fact that the blade seems to have a little more heft to it than I prefer. I find heavy grinds like this a tad clumsy to use.
