Rating Definition:

Fine with an overall brown patina on the barrels, strong visible Damascus pattern, patchy spotting, and some light dings and scratches.

The wood is fair with numerous dings and scratches throughout, bruises in the checkering, and the beginnings of some hairline cracks behind the upper tang. Mechanically excellent.
