He was making some very nice high end knives back then and many of them can be viewed in Weyer Points Of Interest Book Series. Fantastic craftsmanship fit and finish. The knife has never been used and is near mint with just a few light scratches and a couple carbon spots on the blade. No sheath but zipper pouch included. .
