This is an all-stainless steel Western-style deba knife. It has been used, but hasn't been sharpened down much, so it's still perfectly usable. If you wish, I can sharpen it before shipping. This is a complimentary service, so there is no charge. As some people prefer not to have their knives sharpened by others, I will not sharpen it and ship it unless you specifically request it in the comments. Also, because I have so many knives, some items have the date of listing marked with masking tape to prevent mix-ups. This is not to hide any damage, so please rest assured. I plan to ship the item with the tape still attached.
