Like new. It did come with a little bit of clear epoxy residue around the menuki but its clear and hardly noticeable. Here is a description from the website
From the creative mind of Frenchie Jin, CAS proudly presents the Baika Tanto from the Dragon King forge ('Baika' meaning 'Plum Blossom' in Japanese)
As you know, making a SWORD or any blade over 12" long can be problematic when using stainless steel. But with difficulty, it CAN be tempered - and when it's 9" long and sandwiched between two pieces of softer steel. The result is a stainless steel blade with exceptional edge holding that retains the toughness of the softer steel.
This unique piece features a fully wrapped, genuine ray skin handle, ornamented with a beautiful and functional plum blossom motif, this tanto is light in the hand and grips firmly with nodes of the ray skin. Finely detailed gold plated oriole menuki and accents demonstrate Frenchie's keen attention to detail on all Dragon King designs. The gold saya and brown and gold sageo match beautifully and would make the Baika Tanto a great companion piece to the Tatsumaki Katana
Differentially Hardened SanMai laminated 7crmov & 404 stainless steel premium Tanto with FULL rayskin wrap. Matches the Tatsumaki Katana
Overall: 15 1/8" Blade Length: 9" Handle Length: 4 3/4" Weight: 12 oz
