Condition report:
The overall condition of the knives is good, showing light wear consistent with handling and light use. Minor oxidation and patina are present on the high-carbon Damascus steel blades, particularly in the grooves of the pattern welding. The bolsters show minor scuffing and handling marks. The handle scales are intact with no major cracks or chips. The folding actions appear to function correctly, though we have not tested the long-term durability or lock strength. The three accompanying leather sheaths are in good condition with minor surface wear.
