Blade opens with nice snap.  I detect a slight bit of up and down play when locked in place.  Appears to be new (99% sure of that), but I do see one very small scratch on the very topside of the blade between the tip and the thumb gimp (see pic 6). I also see a very light discoloration patch and several small scratches on the silver colored bolsters.  Yeah, I'm looking tight to find any marks I can so you know what you're getting before you get it. Check my feedback comments and buy with confidence!

Blade length 3 3/4", with an overall length of 7 5/8".  Elk etching is crisp and clear, with fine details easily visible.
