Does this 6318 apear to be 100% on blades ?

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

I am no expert at all, but from the pics, to my eyes it looks like there is some recurve to the main blade and the sheepsfoot from sharpening. Sellers description does say it may have been cleaned. If you are thinking of it as a potential user I wouldn't let it bother ya. Once again just my opinion

Looks good to me.
Optical illusion (my opinion) on the blades. I held a straight edge next to it and I couldn't see any recurve.

But I've been wrong before.
Take care and God bless,
