Hello Gavin,

Quote:
Why specifically a dealer or collector Kai?
The blade has quite some pitting and someone apparently sanded it down very aggressively; this also resulted in a changed profile of the tip.

In the originating culture, a rusty blade would have been cleaned with mild acid and only gently re-polished if at all.

Regards,
Kai
