This is great news! I am so thankful for your assistance! Please check your PMs!

I thought folks might like to know that eBay has resolved the case that I opened against the seller of this blade in my favor. I had asked for at least a 50% refund of my purchase price but they are...

Bruno, it is headed your way. $12 to ship so not too bad. I appreciate the effort either way.

I'm not sure how to take you comment. Are you saying I should not have asked about this blade in this forum? And I also don't know how to take your comment about selling the blade. Maybe you have...

No obvious signs. The etching on the blade was sharp and deep and the opposite side was badly corroded but no grind evidence (minushone wear). Maybe it is still good. The blade is badly pitted but...

15 mins of sanding and no more discoloration. 131596

I will clean it up and try to hone it. Maybe it isn't brittle. I like the design and look of this guy.

Can someone tell me if this looks like irreversible heat damage?
