This is an older version SVORD hand made knife, made in New Zealand by B. W. Baker. This was one of the first made in this style and features a black composite handle. The knife appears very lightly carried and has some staining as pictured. It has the original factory edge. The sheath has some handling wear. This is a great looking knife! Comes in the original sheath that has the original "SVORD" sticker still on the handle.
