Some of the rivets on the straps need to be replaced before use as they are loose, corroded and no longer hold the strap around the buckle. Many divers prefer this type of strap to the soft rubber ones because they pull on the skin and hair less. Some new rivets or Chicago screws should do the trick. The parts of the grip that protects the hand and other areas have some mottled markings. The rubber loop that holds the knife in the sheath is still soft and elastic. The serrated area is pretty sharp, but the rest of the blade could use a good sharpening as it does have a few dings in the blade. There is additional notes in the listing body. Please see all photos for details, condition and feel free to ask any questions, thank you.

    Notes:
    "Taucher Messen" is lightly etched in the blade and that means "diver measured" in the German language. The blade has inch markings lightly etched on the other side of the blade. This model's blade is especially thick and would be good for leveraging, especially with the the beefy grip. It has a heavy pommel for "hammering" items loose. The tip looks good and has a beveled edge across the forward spine. This PIC model is a heavy duty, large knife. All of it weighs 19oz total, which feels pretty manageable considering the large pommel and length.
