It's in great shape - I haven't cut with it, dunno if the prior user did. There is a kydex rub (?) on one side of the blade and some very light sharpening marks opposite, I can try to Fitz these out although it never bothered me. This is an awesome SD knife but since I need to pay bills & have my beater Spydie Perrin to fill that niche, this baby's on the sale block. It's a reverse-grip monster!
