Major delamination and chipping of the printed image on the blade. This is a permanent cosmetic defect that significantly lowers collector value. General wear on metal surfaces.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Flea Market, or Yard Sale. Online platforms like eBay are difficult due to shipping restrictions on weapons and the low profit margin after fees.
Selling Tips
Sell locally to avoid shipping costs that might exceed the item's value. Market it as a 'truck knife' or a 'beater knife' for utility use. Clean the handle with a damp cloth to improve visual appeal, but do not scrub the blade or more of the graphic will peel off.
