This knife was lightly sharpened and used. All blades have strong snap and are full with little to no blade loss. As the photos show the blades have light surface scratches and gray patina, and surface stains. The very tip of the main clip blade is blunted a bit but nothing missing. I believe that this knife would clean up nicely. The nice jigged black composition read more
