Came with an unused 'Kershaw 1040' leather sheath. The handle looks completely unblemished. Very small abrasion (as advertised) on the base of the blade around the 'Kershaw' logo, but has to be turned just so to even see it. Could not have expected any better.
I really really like this knife. I owned one of the newer models. I really like the folding Hunter. But the 1040 is it very well made knife very well put together beautiful handle just a good blade just about the whole blade can be sharpened. And what a great company fast shipping good quality thank you one of my best knife purchases yet. You sure can't go wrong with this knife thanks for the wonderful knife
