Wow what a looker, someone is going to get lucky on this sweet blade.
It only has some light marks on the blade, love it. It doesn't appear it has even been sharpened before.
From the auction:
"“Good used condition with signs of use on the blade”, "There are some scratches on the blade (see pictures)."
Scratches? I can't see any.

If you tilt your screen, you can see a light one near the tip.

I like that it's a rare recurve blade more than anything.

I gave my brother an AUS-8 Delica back in '92. He sharpened it on a bench grinder till the edge ran into the thunb hole before he quit carrying it 2 years ago. : )

It looks like a delica cross-bread with a shabaria.

Looks like they used a chainsaw to sharpen that.

I can't see the scratches or the fact that it's a delica.
We would rather be the knife in your pocket, because is "works" better, than the knife in your showcase, because it "looks" better.

It's a rare Endura misprint, that's why it says Delica. It was also printed in the wrong size.

I like the fact the handle is 2x the length of the blade for safety and balance.
