Rating Definition:

Fine, retains 40% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. There is some bright edge wear and scattered dings and scratches. The wood is also fine with numerous minor dents and scratches, a very small repair near the upper tang, and crisp grip checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
