B+ Grade Swiss Army Knives |
|
Our B+ grade used Swiss Army knives are still excellent knives that will give you many years of service, but they have cosmetic flaws that knock them out of the higher A grade. Here are some examples of flaws in B+ knives: Blade Scratches Here are some examples of typical blade scratching in B+ knives:
B+ knives may have a small amount of bending in one or two blades, and they may have some small nicks or gouges. We'll also accept broken tips, but only if there is a maximum of 1/8" / 3mm missing (that's about the width of the tweezers). The blade shown below has about the worst possible wear that we'll accepœ in a B+ knife. Because we base the final grade on overall condition, we'd automatically drop this knife to a B grade if the other blades were in less than excellent condition.

In some B+ knives, a few of the blades may be a little sluggish to move, and may not snap when opened or closed. Case Scratches B+ grade knives will always have "pocket wear" on the plastic shells-- usually in the form of many small scratches in the nylon case. Most of the B+ knives have shells that are completely intact, but a small percentage of B+ knives may have small cracks or gaps in the shells (no more than 1/8" / 3 mm in size). Occasionally the case may be stained, gouged, roughened or slightly rippled from heat .
