I purchased this knife new and carried it for a couple of weeks. In those weeks I used it a couple of times to cut up vegetables (an onion or two and some broccoli) to see how it would patina. It's got a slight patina forming but it's in great shape. Edge is factory sharp!
With that being said the knife is ready to use and you'll save quite a bit. Comes with box. Price shipped: $130
