Condition
The two American made knives have been used and sharpened. The Cattaugus knife shows extensive wear, but the outside is excellent. The Camillus knife has been used, and the spring that holds the blades tight is loose, such that the point of the knife blade protrudes. The butterfly knife has traces of old oil on it, but is excellent.
