I purchased this item used, in good condition, but only wore it a few times before it became too small. I think it's in good condition. I've been storing it for about two years. The name was erased from the back. There were small scratches and peeling around the entrance from when I bought it. There's no rust, and it looks ready to use, but since it's been stored, you may want to get it sharpened if you're concerned. Thank you.
