I bought this off the exchange, can't remember what the stated condition was but it still looks very good. I have used this knife a little, I believe I did some light chopping. So, consider it used but any wear is more from just carrying it than actual use. I have touched it up on a ceramic rod. A few rub marks on the G-10 here and there. I tried to capture what I thought looks like marks on the blade but they are so faint I'm not sure what they are if anything. So the Blade is in excellent condition, the sheath however, has been heavily modded, for the better IMO!
I did what I usually do to knives of this size which is to add the Esee 5/6 clip plate. The clip it came with is the horrible one used on SOGs from 10 years ago (what was BM thinking!). This required carving out a little material in the slots to accommodate the clip plate screws. I also removed the snap and strap it came with and added a small nut and bolt to drastically increase retention. I believe if you wanted, you could carry this knife inverted, that is how good the retention is. You can adjust the retention with the bolt, and if you added a rubber washer it would be really adjustable. I'm pretty sure you can flip the clip plate around to set this up for carry on which ever side of your body you like.
Long explanation I know, but I figure you should know what you are getting. With that in mind, you are getting only what is in the pictures: knife, sheath, clip plate. No box, papers, or original hardware. Price: $170 $old.

I bought this used off the exchange. It has been carried, used, and touched up by me (possibly sharpened by previous owners but edge looks factory to me). Top swedge is sharpened. Condition looks very good to me. Slight wear marks from carry, nothing major. Steel is 154cm and is sharp! Original clip has been removed. G-Clip added. Took some effort to get this set up how I like so there are some not so pretty marks under the clip and on the screws. Fully functional but if you want it set up differently, you will have some marks where the clip currently is. I believe I drilled a hole but I can't quite remember. Priced accordingly at $old.
