When it's stuck onto a bra of a beautiful girl?
No seriously for me it's quite a lot of grains and a decent bow-i can't really look at a dead straight blade and think it looks good
Just gone back to a salix I got second hand
Nice bow,even grains and when you pick it up it just looks good
It's a falx model

For me there is a difference between what looks good in a shop and what looks good when it is made to look like a wand by a quality batsman.

seeing a bat which has scored 1000 runs - mostly off the middle always looks good, regadless of branding and finishing.
Gotta agree

Can't bring myself to send my Affinity Toro off for a refurb,,1300 runs has given it a lovely patina

Clean grains with an even strip of hearwoood that runs dead straight down the edges 2-3cm max with a lovely white blade or a blade with a little character the odd little speck. White grip and minimal stickers ideally.
