Used but in excellent condition.  Took the knife on trade for one of my (Todd) Heeter Knifeworks knives.  I love the knife but it's just not something I carry.  I have never carried it since taking it on trade.  It just sits in the safe.  It is signed on the inside of the copper spacer by maker Sergey Rogovets.  It is also numbered (1708).  It also has two digits under the 1708.  I believe it reads 02 but not certain.  It is hard to make out.
