This item is in Mint Condition. This knife is a wonderful example of the Alaskan model.  It was never popular with hunters, but collectors love it.  That’s why production numbers were low and this model is so rare.  Light spotting on the reverse side near the point, about an inch back.  Hardly noticeable in the hand but evident in high-definition photos.  A beautiful piece and worthy of a good look for the collection. It is getting very difficult to find.
