As is, as pictured. As new with box and paperwork. Not sure if box is original to knife. Box says 12/11/97 but knife is tang stamped with 5 dots indicating 1995. Yes, I know that sometimes a knife will sit around at the factory and that the box date is when it went to a distributor BUT this one says DK Black and to to me, the knife looks like a green bone. It IS a dark green bone but it definitely has a green tinge. All in all, it's probably what it says and in all likelyhood the box and knife are correct but I wanted to mention it. Pretty rare 1 of 2500 large knife that some call a coke bottle and some call a saddlehorn but I call it a coke bottle/saddlehorn hybrid.
