N/A. (N/A). Angus is Excellent. Minor marks and flakes around the shear lip. Thomas is Very Good. Similar but stained throughout. Mordan (sword) is like the Thomas. Just a bit dull and stained. Final one I assume is a Bixby as it is the same style as the bigger embossed ones. It is Good but is a bit heat affected. Slightly pinched in on one side. Stained and dull.
