Some one could have taken the scales off and restored it. Im not saying they have, but you don't know the condition of the edge. I have had blades that looked fine, but have had a corroded edge where 1/8 needs to be taken off to get to good steel.

Chances are not, but you never know. Don't pay too much for it, there have been several others like that in the past, and there will be more. There is one on the bay at the moment, but it needs work.
