The blade has a tiny scratch in the coating, please see the second photo. There's a pretty good upside though - the action on it is extremely smooth, there's zero lockstick, & the centering is on point. Brand new! Only taken out for photos. Will include all original packaging (Striders only come with a plastic baggie) Will be shipped boxed (not bagged!) to ensure it arrives to you in pristine condition. Ships the same or next business day. Thanks for looking! Please message me with any questions or concerns.
