This item is in Mint Condition.   This is a most beautiful 959 Universal.  Both sides of this knife have dark and well-matched Sambar Stag.  Sometimes this is not the case with these models. All blades are as good as you can get.  This 37-year-old knife would be a great addition to any discriminating collection.  I am tempted to keep this one in my collection but it is time for it to go to a new home.
