New in the tube with protective paper. Factor oil still on the blades. This one doesn't suffer from blade drag that I've heard of or have felt of on other examples I have handled. Main blade has smooth opening and good snap closing. Secondary blade could probably use a little cleaning but still has some snap when it shuts. First "I'll take it " gets it with a follow-up p.m. for payment instructions. Sorry for the not so great pictures but the Ebony has some great grain to it. I don't think anybody will be disappointed in this one.$85.00 includes shipping and PayPal fees.
