    Default Possible new tomato knife?

    I think this might make a wonderful tomato knife. To their credit, the seller does say the blade is in bad shape and has lots of nicks.

    If the scales are in good condition, many people like this kind and could be worth getting for those.

    Unfortunately the two pictures on the auction show only one side of the scales - would be a kind of pig in a poke thing.

    Well, yeah without additional pictures or clarification from the seller about the state of the scales, I'd rather buy me a decent drink than gamble on this.

    These are the kind of knives used by the people at Lay's Potato chips, you have to remember "Ruffles have Ridges.".
