Condition Descriptions: Pristine mint (Also called Collector's Grade): Knives in this category must be flawless, and must have additional characteristics that set them apart from mint. Ex. A Stag knife with deeply grooved or superbly matching scales would be considered Pristine Mint or Collector's Grade. Limited Production Runs, First Production Runs, Prototypes, and Knives accompanied by COA's would also fit this category if in Mint Condition. Mint: Factory Condition, This would be a knife that has never been carried, sharpened, or used and does not have any oxidation (rust). Knives 30 plus years old will allow light oxidation but no pitting, light carrying marks and/or bronzing would also be acceptable but no "Nail Catches" Note: A knife that has been heavily buffed would be considered near mint or less depending on how harshly it was cleaned. Near Mint: T must be no major flaws (chips, cracks, pitting) with a near mint knife. "Nail catches" would be permitted but not in excess. Knives should have most of the original finish on the blades and bolsters. Very light sharpening would be acceptable, blades must be full. It can have spotting or patina, but no pitting. Newer knives with some light carrying marks on the bolsters and/or some bronzing (discoloration) of the bolsters would fall into this category. Scales should have no visible cracks or chips. Excellent: Knives in this condition would include slightly used knives. T may be a bit of blade wear (no more than 10%). Light pitting would be acceptable. Blades should snap well, and the tang mark should be clear. Scales should have very little cracking or chipping. Good: "Carrying Knives" are generally well used knives with blade wear up to 25%. The blades should still be sound but may be slow. The stamping should be legible. The handles may have cracks and wear, but shouldn't have chipping which exposes the liners. The knife may also have some rust, pitting, and/or tarnish. Fair: Knives must still be useable as a working knife. Blade wear may be between 25-50%. Chips or cracks may expose liners. Blades could have chips, knicks, or breaks. Blades are generally slow to snap and often have loss of snap. Maker of the knife should be distinguishable by shield or tang stamp. Poor: A poor knife is generally only good for parts. The blades might be less than 50%, extra lazy or even broken. Tang marks are generally barely legible, and the handles may be chipped. read more
