A couple of Busse knives for your consideration....
The first person to post “I'll take it” without contingencies and a follow up e-mail will receive purchasing priority.
Please ask any questions prior to making a purchase commitment. My top priority is a hassle free transaction. I'll be more than happy to provide additional / higher resolution photos and discuss questions via PM, e-mail, or over the phone. I've done my best to accurately describe the condition of the knives I'm offering for sale, but there's always the issue of process variation and manufacturing tolerances inherent to this type of product so please inquire if there are issues of particular importance to you.
I will accept payment via USPS Money Order, or PayPal with a confirmed address per the pricing listed. That being said, please be aware that if you lack a track record on the forum I will prefer a US postal money order. Also, I will not use PayPal Gift, please don't ask. I will ship via USPS w/signature confirmation and provide insurance to CONUS only.
I'm not interested in any trades at this time.
I reserve the right to not do business with any individual without explanation. All sales are “as is, where is” and without warranty (except as provided by the manufacturer). All sales are final. By purchasing this item you are stating that you are 18 years of age or older and abiding by all local, state and federal laws concerning the purchase, transportation and possession of this item.
Busse Game Warden LE (GW LE): I am calling this a limited edition (LE) because it was the first Game Warden released, has a snakeskin handle and I believe this is the common terminology for this model. Whether, or not the factory considers them Limited Editions I don't know. This particular knife is new, as received from the factory. It has not been used, sharpened, or inserted in a sheath. Snakeskin handle and a .140” satin blade. The only flaw I see is a tiny spot on the spline just under the front of the handle. It can be seen in the close up photo below. I believe it's an imperfection in the polishing process. $325 USPS MO / $337 PayPal SOLD
Busse Custom Shop Desert Anorexic Badger Attack (DABA): I purchased this knife from Blade Art in 2006. The knife is new, as received from the factory. It has not been used, sharpened, or inserted in a sheath. Polished spline, “Rope” style micarta handle and a blade thickness of .159” on my calipers. The coating is about as good as it gets for this older style. I don't see any chips or scratches and only the most minor bit of imperfection on the right side of the blade along the grind line near the tip. It's really nit-picking, but it can be seen in the photo below. There is also a small spot in the choil area on the spline. I believe it's a finish issue, a missed spot in essence.
I'm not prone to promoting a knife I'm selling, but in my opinion this one is about as nice an example of a classic Busse as one is likely to find. $595 USPS MO / $616 PayPal
