Here's a somewhat unusual current era KB Jussi.

Weight is 800grms.

Length is 43cm (17").

This is a very massive KB.

What an earth has that thing been dipped to? Alien blood or something?

Instant antiquity .

Many prefer an aged look .

There are several substances that are used to achieve an aged look. This blade probably used two , one after the other.

To many people the finish that this blade carries is seen as desireable.

I find the finish appealing, but i don't really care for the serrated, jagged edge look.

Well, I guess it´s the same as with pre-distressed watchbands and jeans really

I like the looks, I just guess I´d prefer new things to look their age

But, if it is being sold as new instead of a rare, collectors, antique It´s ok.
