My husband collects knives for a hobby. Many years ago, when hepurchased this knife, he took the knife out of the box to admire its beauty andwe cannot, at this point, locate the box. However, the knife is in like-newcondition, undamaged, and has never been used. It was kept in its pouch and wrapped up in achest with his other collectibles and is in mint condition. It is very unique, has a pleasing look to it and feels good in the hand.
