How common are crudely cut and imprecise fullers on Chinese swords?
 
I was wondering if any members Have seen crude, wavy and imprecise fullers on antique Chinese sword blades, as we mostly see only high grade blades for auction and I was wondering if such blades with crude fullers even exist

Yes, I have a village blacksmith's Guom that shows crude fullers.
Too late to hunt it up here tonight, but I'll post a picture tomorrow.

Nice! Thanks for posting. I do know that during China's WWII 1933-45 a lot of Dadao were made in a hurry by local smiths, and not to exacting standards. "There was a war on, don't you know"! Got pics somewhere if wanted.

Would be interesting to see them! Utilitarian weapons are fascinating
