Thank you for viewing. My father purchased this new about 15 years ago and used it a few times. After that, he didn't have the opportunity to use it, so it was stored in a warehouse. The blade is sharp, and there is no rust on it. I will also include the net for scooping out ice chips created when making holes with a drill. There is a small hole in the included bag, but it doesn't affect its use. Please use it during the smelt fishing season.
