Well it looks in better shape than many knives I've seen described as "mint". Is there anything particularly wrong with it other than not being near mint? It looks like it's very good-excellent to me.

::rotflol::
There is a lot of missing metal for that knife to be near mint.

Maybe he meant "buffed to near mint." ::barf::

The knife is fine. It just isn't accurately graded by the seller.

Reckon what kind of polishing wheel the factory used to get that finish on those minty blades? Especially with those scratches being different sizes and depths lol. That must be one unique factory polishing wheel.

Just because it's shiny it must be mint.I can understand non knife people not being able to to tell the difference. But it amazes me the number of so called knife collectors who can't tell the difference between a used cleaned knife and a uncleaned unused one. ::shrug::Not saying this one has been cleaned . It's just used.

Charlie is this one stainless? I don't see any tarnish on the blades.
