Give that man a cigar! 6/8 it is.

I won this on ebay a while back - it was advertised as a "force mark" and the accompanying picture wasn't that great. The scales looked really crappy when I got it, but when I washed it and cleaned it a little, I could see the jewel encrusted in the crud. Some spirited polishing brought it out.

As nice as the blade is, the difference in the scales was night and day. Lesson learned was to polish those old scales up first before writing them off.
