ok yes i saw this knife on ebay, if you have purchased it it appears to be a solid knife that has been taken care of, is not worn out in that the edge and original grind are still sound. i do notice the grind is a partial taper type, higher end blades usually have a full tapered grind but not always. There is no way to tell much more until you get it in your hands and sharpen it and use it for a bit. Buying used blades you always look at the wear of the blade, the grind type and try to deduce the amount of use or abuse, a soft blade or highly used blade would for example show much more sharpening wear. it does appear they polished the blade for the photos but that is a good thing imo a step you wont have to do.
