Very nice Cutco #23 carving knife. Nine inch smooth-edged blade with their distinctive wedge-lock handle in a striped brown plastic that mimics rosewood. In used but very good condition. I note some light overall wear: light scratches on the blade, a little scuff on the back of the handle, a tiny divot near the butt of the handle. I will craft a sheath with some cardboard for the blade and ship in an box via your choice of service. Whenever possible, I ship same or next day, so that you can receive your item as quickly as possible.
