I have for trade:
-a NIB Busse Basic 9, leather sheath,smooth finish(they may have only been offered in the smooth finish).(will probably only trade towards a 8.5" or longer Busse blade).
-a NIB Busse Basic 7, leather sheath,smooth finish.(will probably only trade for 6" or longer blade).
-a NIB original Becker Knife and Tool Campanion from when they were made by BlackJack which means it has an extremely sharp convex edge and an Eagle sheath.
-a Bill Siegle 6" recurve blade camp knife that I got in a trade, 1/4" full flat grind of 5160 (that you can see the temper line on),black micarta(I think,maybe G10) handles,it is very similar to his Hoodlum but with a little more recurve,not as much guard to the handle,the handle has more gentle flowing curves and is black,kydex sheath with techlock, never carried,used, or sharpened etc.,pic.s available that I can email GONE
