The grip is a medium reddish brown color and it is in excellent condition with a very small vertical chip in the lower reverse area of the grip.

The anodized scabbard is straight and, while the scabbard has the expected scratches, it maintains a very good appearance. The scabbard fittings remain uncleaned. Overall the dagger is in excellent condition.
