CONDITION - Pre-Owned In Excellent Unused Condition Never Sharpened, Used or CarriedShaving-Sharp Factory EdgeWhen I purchased this vintage Opinel folder 20 years ago, it had faint signs of oxidation (tiny, dark "squiggles", but no rust or pitting) on the carbon steel blade from improper storage. I hand-buffed out 95% of the oxidation with Simichrome polish, but there's still a hint of it visible. This type of oxidation is common on vintage carbon steel Opinels, but I wanted to point it out for anyone who's unfamiliar with these knives.Blade Opens/Closes a bit stiffly from lack of use (like MOST Opinels) - this corrects itself quickly with normal use.The vintage Virobloc Ring Lock on this Opinel No 12 was not designed to lock when the blade is folded/closed.No Other Noteworthy Condition Issues ALL ITEMS ARE OFFERED AS IS AND AS FOUND WITH NO RETURNS PLEASE READ ALL LISTING DETAILS CAREFULLY AND STUDY ALL ZOOMABLE PHOTOS CLOSELY PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING Any Combined Shipping Savings Will Be Promptly Refunded When Multiple Items Are Purchased On The SAME DAY This item will be carefully packed and shipped via the Seller's Choice of INSURED USPS Ground Advantage, USPS Priority Mail, UPS Ground or FedEx Ground/Home Delivery.
