Very tough to find with the scabbard and prongs.

I'm no expert, but from what I see on this and other forums, it looks good to me. They are really substantial knives and look mean.

should i leave it as is or clean it up?

#10

I like the patina I would leave alone

#11

DONT TOUCH IT--- CLEAN IT--- ITS RUINED. JUST KEEP THE BLADE LUBED.

#12

It looks good, the lion is better struck than a lot of them.

Just oil it, I would not clean it further. It is pretty rare with the scabbard.
