So there's an ASH2 on fleabay being sold by one of our regulars here. I find the wording in the description to be highly misleading but he thinks I'm "stupid" for thinking that. What do you guys think?
Here's the situation. He has an etched and stripped blade. He is describing it as "Busse ASH2 competition finish with convex edge done by AZTimT". I asked if it's actually a comp finish or if it's stripped. He said it clearly stated it was given a comp finish by Tim. I personally don't think you can "give it a comp finish" since a comp finish means it never had coating. Plus I don't see how it "clearly states" it was given a comp finish. His wording makes it sound like it is a comp finish knife that was given a convex edge by Tim.
We all know that Busse doesn't offer the comp finish and those knives are more sought after right? Is he trying to mislead people in your opinion?
On a related topic I've been seeing a lot of people listing BIG finish blades as just satin and even a few BG version not mentioning they are BG or SR101. Is this a new trend among the Busse crowd? I really hope not.
