Rating Definition:

Very fine, with well defined etching on the blade, scattered patches of spotting, and mild handling marks. Silver is excellent, with some light dents. The grip shows a crack running down the right side, with sharp checkering. Sheath is also very good, wit some minor scuffs and the start of an aged color on the silver. Chatelaine is excellent, with some minor handling marks. Case is very fine, with minor scuffs, bent latch and mild scratches.
