Extensive, uneven hone wear, and a strange looking blade geometry? Thanks, but no thanks.

Thats a stock photo hes using. He just sold the same blade last week fwiw.

I've got a filarmonica 7/16 round point that I might sell...

I really prefer bigger blades,but its in mint condition.

I did wonder myself whether it was honewear or reflection of the flashlight. As he describes it as new I decided it might be the latter. As to the geometry: that may be the angle at which the photos were taken. Best to ask him more pics

A 2/8s is really small. So much so its hard to hold on to especially if you have big hands and it can do things you don't want it to. The difference to go to a 3/8s may be small but its important because the 3/8s can be held and manuvered much better and is still small enough for trim jobs which is what it is designed for.
