Keira GruberNotes
No screws are losse or missing, handles are intacted and one still swings into house the blade. Tiny white spots on the handles and parts of the metal (unknown-- possibly paint or due to age). Blade is dulled but still just alittle jagged. Metal is tarnishing and wood is knicked up (not much wrong with the wood)
