Let me start by saying Im no professional, but Im starting to get into collecting knives and this one definitely seems worth it. It came covered pretty thickly coated in oil, which I hear is a good sign. The leather sheath seems okay, Ive seen better but its not particularly bad ig. The knife is much larger than it appears in photos, so be warned lol. The blade had some dings on it, but still pretty sharp (ive seen sharper and duller ones, so this isnt bad). Overall Im pretty satisfied with it. And of course it is GORGEOUS. Definitely worth the money imo
