The stash of my new-old-stock Busse / Kin blades has now dwindled to less than a dozen and these two are among the very last of the collection with a few more to follow in the the upcoming weeks.
Both of these are from this private collector owner, i.e, never been used or carried. Having been inspected, handled and fondled been the extent of their "use". This means that the edges are original, untouched and undamaged. How these came from the shop all those years ago (2103 and 2015) is how they still are with the exception of being rubbed down, stored in storage bins in a dry (no rust) environment.
No trades and no international shipping (Intl. buyers without a U.S address using a proxy forwarding address is fine with me).
For this evening of 4/16/2025, I am offering the following:
1- The Swamp Rat Tali Whacker LE #285
&
2- The ScrapYard Chop House Lean Cut version
Here on the Exchange at a reduced price* These two are both currently listed on another platform (Big Auction Site at higher asking $ + shipping + sales tax) There are more photos of these two over there.
A- PayPal Goods & Services:
1-Tali Whacker LE: $290 $280
2-Chop House LC: $250
All in, no sales tax and including USPS Ground Advantage Mail shipping. Please note that I will only pay for PayPal's standard transaction fees (3.5% + .49 transaction fee, no friends & family). If you use PayPal's 4 installments payment or are an international buyer using a proxy U.S. address, the PP fees are currently 5% for these type of buyers. I will NOT pay for that extra 1.5% surcharge! You will either have to compensate me, or we have no deal.
B - Optional Zelle:
1- Tali Whacker:$275 $265 SOLD
2- Chop House LC: $240 SOLD
Again all in the same terms as above, included shipping and no sales tax! I am only offering this option if the $$ in savings are a deal maker for you. Buyers beware as Blade Forums discourages against such payment methods!
I expect that payment is completed within one hour or less of finalizing a deal, thank you.
