Iam primarily a collector, but searching for new and unusual modelsoften brings me duplicates and perfectly useful knives that I cannotkeep. I share these on . I classify knives by conditionaccording to the scale below.

GradingScale:

A+ new in box, with paperwork. Box may be worn, but the knife has neverbeen carried, sharpened, or used. Collector or museum quality.

A new or like new, but nobox or paperwork. Collector or museum quality.

B+Excellent condition, no obvious wear, clean, tight, complete. Goodfor a collector, but probably not a museum.

B Excellent conditionwith some wear on the scales (handles). Clean, tight, complete, butthe Swiss cross may be barely visible. A great carrier but notpretty enough for a collector’s display.

B- Some wear but still an excellent carrier. Clean, tight, complete.

C+ A good carrier. Clean and complete with excellent utility value.

C A good used pocketknifebut nothing more. Everything is there and it all works, but if youdropped it in the creek you might not jump in to retrieve it.

D Sold as is. Might beuseful for parts or dissection.

F You’ll never see thisbecause they end up in my trash can.
