It is mint except for several rub marks on the very shinny blade that were probably made inserting the knife in to the leather sheath. It has not been sharpened. Double-edge blade with blood grove. Drilled for a lanyard, can be lashed to a pole to serve as a survival spear. Flat on the butt to allow for pounding on the handle. This one does not have the card with the production date.
