This is a nice 10" drawknife from a high quality maker. The handles are tight, with no cracks. The blade is 1 3/8" wide, with some small chips that you will want to grind out (they're less than 1/32nd of an inch deep). There are some dings on the back of the blade (hammer marks, no doubt), but no pitting. The blade is in the same plane as the handles. With a good sharpening, this will make a fine user.
