For those of you like myself who couldn't make it to Blade, I have some consolation prizes. A fire sale at prices I will never again offer. Get them while you can because they'll only stay this way through the weekend!
Keep an eye on my profile as I'll also be doing fire sales in the Busse sale area, fixed blade sale area, and maybe even the automatic sale area. Message me if you have something you want but you don't see as I may have it but just haven't gotten the listings up yet.
Also, bookmark or keep an eye on these listings throughout the weekend as I absolutely will be adding more to these threads through the entire weekend!
May this soothe your aching hearts!
*Open to the rare trade but I'm mainly after cash*
PAYMENT : All prices reflect PP F&F or Venmo. Add 3% for PP G&S, other payment options can be discussed.
Please, NO NOTES in the comments section of PP when asked what the payment is for!
Payment needs to be sent within 24 hrs of being sent my PayPal address or else the item will be made available to the next person in line.
SHIPPING : USPS Priority with signature confirmation to your PayPal or Venmo address. Signature not required on items $150 or less I believe.
Shipping to CONUS or Canada only.
TERMS: First to post "I'II take it" here in the thread with a prompt follow up PM or email gets the knife.
If a follow up PM or email is not sent in a timely manner (at my discretion, usually within the hour), item will be made available to the next in line unless we have worked out prior arrangements.
I reserve the right to sell to whom I want. These will be cross posted and the items shown may be taken down at any time. Timestamps apply!
No returns, no refunds, no exchanges, so be sure to ask any questions before making payment! Only exceptions are if I've grossly misrepresented the item or if I feel it's warranted.
I will do my very best to deal with any issues you have should there be any. I'm very easy to deal with and my goal is to make you pleased with our transaction!
By purchasing this knife you agree that you are lawfully able to purchase, receive, and use the respective knife in accordance with all laws of your jurisdiction. You are responsible to know your local knife laws!
Thank you in advance!
On with the good stuff.....

Crappy, ill-fitting, black nylon sheath
Sheath is new and of reasonably poor quality. Quite generic and unexciting. Doesn't hold a blade very securely. It used to (maybe still does?) have a funny smell when it was new.
$185 TYD (This is a great deal!) SOLD
Oh, if you buy this, I'll toss in a Busse Crab Shack Elmax slicer for free, but nobody probably cares about that.
Buy the sheath.




Custom Tactical Cardboard Sheath with some gray plastic netting
Tactical cardboard sheath with tape on one end. Has a vintage "DB-522" logo on it. They don't make these anymore, so this may be your only chance to get one (seriously, they don't, you can ask Jerry yourself).
Custom fitted for the plastic netting shown. Keeps it safe and secure so the netting doesn't get tangled in stuff when not in use. Much better quality than that nylon one above.
$175 $165 TYD SOLD
If you buy this, I'll toss in a free SYKCO DB-522 in scrap satin finish. Not that anyone cares about this old thing, but it's never been used, it was only used to display that sweet cardboard sheath and hold the netting in a nice shape for long term storage.
Blade is cloudy from factory protectant on it. It's as-received from Scrapyard.
