Collector context
Condition, finish, included box and sheath, production markings, modifications and original hardware are useful details when cataloging an 87. Because the model is no longer a current flagship product, provenance and exact condition can be especially relevant to collectors.
Service history
For a used example, record sharpening, tuning, replaced hardware and any factory service. MyBalisong maintenance records are designed to keep that history attached to the individual knife rather than losing it in a listing description.
