thoughts on this blade I may or may not put a bid on

[Jon]

I’m thinking of trying to pick up this blade as it has an interesting hada..I’m not thinking of going beyond the $500 mark total ( postage and import taxes).

 

Any thoughts or advice on the blade ?

Remember?

 

All the best.

Is that hada or some sort of damascus process?

Flushing your 500 quid down the toilet would be a far more expedient method of exchanging money for crap. This should ring every single alarm bell possible!

Florid John, but very helpful, cheers

All in good humour Jon, to be more helpful: this does look to have been treated with some sort of acid to produce such an obvious Hada. You would be pretty disappointed if you had it hand.

Acid. Lots of acid. Ugh

I’ve not had the miss fortune to see an acid Polish before, is there any other stand out thing about an acid polish other than the over to top hada ?
