This item is in Mint Condition. This is a beautiful knife.  It has a really nice European stag, well matched on both sides.  A deep blade etching with very little and faint handling marks. It is almost flawless. This year, this knife will be 23 years old, and well cared for. This sheath has the velcro closure. After handling it for a bit, I actually like it. It is a big improvement over the pin and ball closure.   It is reasonably priced for you..
