Both knives have blades installed that are somewhat sharp. The wood handles are not cracked or split. The metal parts of the knives have scratches and signs of wear. They are sold as found and may need cleaning. We have not taken them apart or adjusted the blades. They are 6 9/16 inches long at this time. The two weigh nine ounces prior to adding packing materials and a sturdy box for shipping. We do not set the postal rates but do try to ship in the smallest boxes possible to allow plenty of packing materials at the lowest weight to allow safe shipping. Please study photos as they are part of the item description.
