Things are slow, let's have some fun, there are some real bargains here.
Rules, please read.
First post or PM gets it, no email or text, must be a valid forum member, please don't post on my wall
Prices include UPS or USPS shipping (USA only) and Fees (PayPal G&S)
I will give an automatic 5% discount for F&F no fee to me payment (PP, Zelle, Venmo) with NO NOTES
Per the new BF Best Practices, I am more than happy to verify who I am and that I have the items in any reasonable way, Goods and Services is always an option for my buyers.
If you are outside the US contact me for a quote and to see if I am okay shipping to your location. Canadians can commit to buy with the understanding shipping will be more.
No trades
I will not hold it based on a conditional commitment. Example: "I will take it if...", this is not fair to other buyers.
Happy to entertain solid and reasonable offers or negotiate multiples via PM, not in this thread, but the first commitment gets it.
Important note: I will not be dropping prices in the thread. If you are waiting for reduced prices your best bet is to reach out to discuss. I am happy to listen to offers and package prices.
No sheaths included unless noted, open to discuss options with buyers. I do offer knife & sheath packages for sale on my leatherworking web store.
Descriptions are thorough describing condition visible by my eye, in a well-lit workshop. I can send more pictures, texting will be fastest if you send a phone #.
Thanks for looking!
Team Gemini 14 (TG14)
Rare knife and even more rare burgundy black & grey G10 scales. This knife is new and unused but does have some minor hairlines from a previous life in Kydex. Nothing severe, they do show up in the photos below.. These came out in 2014 and are the same specs as the first run of Team Gemini's with a finer finish, pretty limited release if I remember right.
***SOLD***$900 Reduced to $790 $650 ***SOLD***
Steak Knives
These are the medium and small sizes. The longer one has a 4" blade and the shorter one has a 3.5" blade. Both are satin finished ~.092 thick Elmax with the Custom Shop Logo and blue/black G10 scales. Both are unused with factory edges
(4" SOLD, 3.5" Withdrawn) $375 each or $685 for the pair Reduced to $325 $290 each or $500 for the pair (4" SOLD, 3.5" Withdrawn)
Max Warden
The venerable Game Warden pattern in ~.095 thick Elmax, paired with black & yellow G10 scales. Not only is this a slicing wizard, it looks good doing it. Satin finished blade with Custom Shop logo. Unused condition.
$300 Reduced to $275 $230

HOG MUK LE
LE #105, orange & black G10 scales with satin finish. Unused condition but does have a few minor storage marks. Factory convexed edge.
$350 Reduced to $290
Fat Mini MUK
Custom Shop, .225 thick at the spine, spectacular deep dish hollow grind. Orange & Black G-10 scales, satin finished, new and unused condition. These are exceedingly rare.
$650 Reduced to $500
Mini MUK
Battle Grade (SR101) with black coating and brown linen Micarta scales. New and unused, no chipping, cracking or wear to the powder coating.
$250 Reduced to $175

Game Warden
Early .22 thick Game Warden, probably from first release, I know I have owned it at least 15 years and I am not the first owner. Red & Black G10 with a diamond quilted pattern. Has seen some use and has a few marks in the finish but looks to have original factory edge. A nice rare specimen that’s hard to find these days.
$375 Reduced to $300
Fat Game Warden
.27 thick at the spine, early release fatty. Brown Micarta scales. Has seen a little carry and use, still has factory edge. Features a spine ground penetrator tip that was factory applied. A few light marks in the finish but a beautiful old Busse that’s very hard to find.
***SOLD***$475 Reduced to $350 ***SOLD***

BONEY Active Duty (BAD)
Blue and Black G10 scales. Factory edge has been thinned out and lightly polished. It also appears to have been re-blasted as it’s sterile but on very close inspection there are still remnants of the Busse logo. If you aren’t familiar, the BAD’s were a limited run of AD’s that were hardened at a higher rockwell, making for an amazing EDC. Very hard to find model, and given this one has seen some use maybe you won’t mind using it too!
$390 Reduced to $300
Mini MUK is SOLD
Trustee Warden
Double cut blasted finish with burgundy Micarta scales. New and unused condition.

Badger Attack 3, Custom Shop
Highly sought after and hard to find, the original straight handle Badger. .187 Infi, dimpled mill finish on the flats, satin on the grinds, beautifully polished convex edge, not sure if it’s original but if not it is very well done.

Desert Anorexic Badger Attack
Another very hard to find BA3 variant, .160 Infi, sanded desert coated with a double cut finished satin spine. Beautiful patina on the OG brass scale tubes. Couple of very minor marks in the finish but nothing too bad. Professionally reprofiled and razor sharp.
$975 - reduced to $835 $790 $650
