A couple of 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 ("Purchase" type only, I will not accept PayPal Gift) with a confirmed address per the pricing listed. That being said, please be aware that if you have less then 5 positives as a buyer on itrader (or any negatives) I will prefer a US postal money order. 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 “Mud Razor”: Tan canvas micarta handle, “night op brown” coating. I purchased this knife new from Busse Combat in 2006. The knife is still in new condition, it hasn't been used, sharpened, or inserted in a sheath. This knife has the same basic specifications as the Hell Razor: .1875” thick blade stock, 6.75” blade length, and an OAL of 12.5”.
Here's what Jerry had to say about this knife on July 6, 2006: “Before there was a Hell Razor. . . there was a special military run of these killer blades. . . We call it the Desert Mud Razor!!!!.... There aren't many of this one-time-only offering. They will be offered during this weekend's Microscopic Extravaganzaaaaaa!!!!.... No corrugations on this one. . . and a very unique night op brown coating coupled with a desert tan canvas micarta handle . . . Think of it as a down and dirty Hell Razor with attitude!!!” On July 31, 2006 Jerry posted some additional information on this knife and the ST-56: “Having checked back on my original posts on both of these knives, I noticed that I failed to mention one of the coolest and most unique features to be found on any Busse Combat blade!!!! The handles on both of these special models are asymmetric!!! The right side handle has a regular palm swell while the left side is more of an even arc from blade to skull crusher. Both sides are textured the exact same way and this feature is only visible when looking at the handle from the top of the spine. This design element allows for a much quicker and very secure purchase of the knife when switching to reverse grip mode in the heat of a hand-to-hand combative situation. You will not believe how good these handles feel and how much improved the grip is in the reverse mode due to more of the handle grooves being in contact with the palm. It is just one more unique feature of these wicked military overruns that gives the collector a brief insight into the mission specific nature and highly detailed design of these rare blades. Congrats to those who scored!!!” $480 MO / $495 PayPal SOLD
Busse Badger Attack III – I purchased this knife back in 2006. The seller stated that the knife was in new, unused condition. This appeared to be accurate, though the finish was similar to a competition finish on the flats with lots of Infi “dimples” showing, which left me wondering if the knife had started life with a coated blade. At this point the past is interesting, but irrelevant. Last year I decided the awesome snake skin scales deserved an upgraded finish so I sent this knife in to the shop and requested Garth and his team's finest satin finish. They didn't disappoint!
This knife is in exactly the same condition it was in when I received it back from the Busse Custom Shop last year. It's not been used, sharpened, or inserted in a sheath. I'm also including the original factory sheath, but be assured I will not risk damaging the knifes finish by inserting it in the sheath when I ship. If you're interested in a BA 3 I think you'll look long and hard for a finer example: A Custom Shop Satin finish, original Snake Skin scales, and the original asymmetric edge grind: $775 USPS MO / $795 PayPal SOLD
