:eek: This knife was my holy grail for a long time... I looked for it for so long that I became attached to another knife of it's size and this poor Badger has been sitting in my closet ever since I got it. I have heard it's cries for freedom and will release into the trough now :(

Please feel free to ask for bettter pics, this was the best I could do for attachments.

I was told the mod to the upper swedge was done by Bill Seigle, it is very well done and I would have accepted it as factory if not told otherwise. the knife is in fantastic condition with the only signs of use being the slight smoothing of the handles. I have not handled any other BA-E's, but compared to my other E series knives these handles feel like they are slimmer. Maybe another post production mod? I currently don't have any other E's to compare it with. The sheath is a high quality Kydex Tec-loc reportedly by Okuden.

This knife sold several moths ago for $475. I'd like to get ***SPF***$500 shipped***SPF**. If you choose to use paypal, I'll split the fees with you.

Trades (partial or full, depending on value): ZT0302 folder, Seiko Monster w/ Black face, 5.11 Tac Obs watch, other high end Frame locks or watches. Busses or Rats (especially unique stuff), AR-10 stuff (DPMS), AR-15 parts for a build (High quality stuff only, Larue etc...)

Post offers or questions here, or through emails/PM's. I'll answer in the order they are received. I may be away from the computer for a while today, so please be patient. Full price offer may be trumped by unusual trades, although first "I'll take it" has priority over other cash offers. 3 day inspection on any deal, both ways.

This is the longest for sale ad I've ever posted. I attribute it to my reluctance to part with this knife, some of you may remember my search...

AHHHH! You're killing me here...LOL I missed out on this one twice before already :(
 
Just as a note: I once asked Jerry about Bill's mods on Busse knives and Jerry had very positive things to say. ;)
 
BTT before my bed time. I know the really BIG Hogs come out at night! Some great offers so far, but it's still available.

I'd also trade it towards a Canon Rebel XTi or quality lenses. Open to most any offer. I'm a pretty nice guy, can't hurt to try.
 
Would you be willing to measure the "swedge" --- I'd like an actual length to it. I'm guesstimating form the pics, but it'd help to know how long it really is -- from the tip.

thanks!
 
This one is "SOLD PENDING FUNDS"!

Sorry Xaman, I was PM'ing with the buyer and didn't see your question until just now. For prosterity's sake, I'll measure it and then edit it in here later on tonight.
 
Cool. Mr Siegle modded my BM-e the same way. If it were close to a match I might have had to say the magic words...

Congrats to the buyer and seller!
 
The sheath is a high quality Kydex Tec-loc reportedly by Okuden.

Nope... it's a super high quality Kydex with Tekloc by Raden:D

If I had the cash I'd be buying it back... I really miss this blade
