- Blade is high carbon stainless 3'' long
- Overall length is 7.25"
- Handle is Orangy-red plastic in good condition, no cracking
- Still fires like a champ and locks up!
- Swing guard
- Safety mechanism (slides under button to prevent firing) not functional.
- "Craftsman" logo is etched into the blade, but you have to have a keen eye and perfect lighting to detect it.
