Busse Basic 4 LE Anorexic w/ Kydex and Tek lock

**KalEl** · 06-28-2012, 03:10 PM

Up for sale is Basic 4 LE #103 with a carbon fiber pattern kydex sheath and large tek lock.

The knife is a user but is in great shape. Its pretty much only been used in the kitchen and to make some feather sticks. There are a few very, very faint scratches from the sheath on the blade. I added a choil to it and the knife is 100% better for it. I made the choil large enough to be really comfortable but small enought that only a milimeter or two of cutting edge was sacrificed. I did it with a dremmel and a grinder at very low speeds and kept it cool the entire time. The HT is still perfectly intact. I touched up the edge on my paper wheels and it is now screaming, hair splitting sharp. Handle is in fantastic shape. There's a few little dings right under the choil from where sand paper hit it a couple times but other than that the handle is mint. The stuff on the handle in the pic is just dust. Looks perfect in real life.

The sheath is by an unknown maker but it fits very well. There is not rattle and you can flip the knife upside down and shake it hard and it won't come out. Comes with a large tek lock and hardwear.

Looking for $225 shipped and paypaled. International is fine as long as buyer pays actual shipping cost and I approve of destination.

Hey guys,

So Ive decided to sell my first ever multi layered re-handle job.

Up for grabs is a swamp rat custom shop RMD with a sharpened upper swedge. This is a rare Ganza only variant. It came with black paper handles.

I decided to rehandle the knife with Curly Koa, Canvas Micarta, Orange G10, and butterscotch Micarta. I got my inspiration from Andy Roy.

I attached the handles with 5 minute epoxy+ hardener and used 3 corby bolts. I think the laminations turned out really smoothly. I sanded the Koa to 1500 grit and sealed the handle with two coats of boiled linsead oil.

This knife does have some flaws. There are some very evident scratches and scuffs and on the lanyard hole as well as near the choil from sanding etc... I kept the blade wrapped the entire time but accidents still happen.

The knife has been lightly used to test out the ergonomics of the handle. I have to say, this is the absolute best feeling RMD ive ever owned and Ive had over 20. The handle has a middle palm swell and is Thicker overall than a normal handle.

Looking for $289 shipped and paypaled. The materials for this knife were really expensive and I am just breaking even at that price.
