First "I'll take it" post, email or PM gets dibs. Please follow up your post with a PM or email.
For sale are some of the Busses that I said I'd never sell. It's a sad day. All prices are what I have in it or less. I am still working on getting pictures up for some of these.
Busses:
1. Basic-11 - $347 - make that $337
Jungle Green Basic 11 user with Mashed Cat Sheath. Other than a few small chips to the edge and normal wear to the coating (blade looks nice underneath if you want to strip it) this blade is ready to go. Send it into Busse to get sharpened if you want, or sharpen it up yourself if the small chips bother you.
I'm throwing in the Barnes Bands ($15) chopping lanyard shown in the pictures.
2. Tiger Warden (Game Warden w/ Tigerhide) - $320 dropped to $300
Comes in a Rainwalker Leather Sheath with a Kydex skeleton. The sheath has been used with a SAR-3 so there are some wear marks, but it fits the Tiger Warden well and looks really good with the Tigerhide.
The blade was bought used, made pretty, then given to my fiance as a gift. She used it a few times to cut stuff around the house and somehow scratched up one side of it a little bit, so the blade is not perfect. Other than the scratches, it is in great shape with an edge that can shave my hair but could be sharper.
3. NMSFNO Jungle Green / Black Canvas Micarta - Withdrawn
New / never used or sharpened with an incredible sheath made by Rainwalker.
The NMSFNO is one of the most sought after blades for a reason. It's one of the best Busses ever made. If you could only have one blade with you, it should be this one.
The OD Kydex sheath has a brilliantly designed split drop loop that puts the blade exactly where you want it, angled outward a bit to allow your hand to fully grasp the handle when deploying. The leg straps and split drop loop make the blade feel weightless, allowing you to carry it without even noticing that it's there. When I first got the sheath, I put it on inside to try it out and left the house with it on because I forgot that it was there. Luckily, I realized when I got to the end of my street, because the Boston blade length restriction is 2.5". (Sheath normally costs around $95 shipped with probably a month wait.)
I bought this blade new and unused, however, it did come from the with a small blemish in the coating. It's hardly noticeable and it'll blend right in after you bash on it. More pictures of the knives can be found on my photobucket, although they are not well organized.
4. ASH-1 SE - withdrawn
New and unused.
This one is especially hard to let go of since it was the first Busse I purchased that I still own and it is very unique and rare; I have yet to see another one like it.
It is coated Black with Green Micarta (either linen or canvas.) I'm a huge fan of this color combo.
It is .22" thick at the Ricasso and tapers down to the tip after the plunge line. Out of all the CG ASH-1s, this one is my favorite because of the balance.
The sheath is a Chuddy Bear sheath that I just so happened to find on the forums right after I bought this blade. It is in good shape. The detailing of the sheath is immaculate and the P logo adds to its uniqueness. It was made for the .22" ASH-1 LE I believe and fits this one perfectly.
I'm throwing in the matching OD/Black Barnes Bands D-Guard and lanyard shown in the pictures.
From the original sale (much better pictures than I can take):
Sheath:
Swamp Rat:
1. Swamp Warden (Sage) - $95
New and unused. This is an amazing necker made from SR101 steel. It's a fantastic slicer, takes a mean edge and is as tough as any Busse. The Ergos are fantastic and are even better with a good cord wrap or custom scales.
2. Kill Devil Sniper Hawk (Sage MO) - $SPF
Comes with a Barnes made sheath. It is a well made sheath, but in my opinion is a little bit too loose to carry on your belt. It works perfectly for throwing it in your pack. The sheath has Coyote Brown Kydex on one side and Black on the other.
I have used this KDSH to throw and for light chopping on a couple of occasions. I really have not gotten the opportunity to beat on it for a while. The edge is dull, as it came from the factory, but is usable there is no edge damage. There is some coating wear and a few marks here and there, but it is in good shape otherwise. The cord needs to be re-wrapped, as it has become a little bit loose.
