Ok, so I just got this NO-E. BUT I already have one. So... I am just putting this out there in trade for the only other Busse Knife I want more. I will trade this for a Badger Attack Ergo BA-E. I prefer the green/gray micarta that Busse calls Black. Stripped or Coated is cool. Used is fine. I would prefer it come with a Kydex sheath... but I'm not gonna be picky about that... getting your own sheath made kinda comes with the Busse territory. That's the only knife I'm interested in trading this for. Otherwise it's a keeper.
About this knife. It's been stripped, and convexed by previous owner (not a great job but I can probably touch it up and make it razor like). It's a user. Has a very poor fitted BB Sheath that has ZERO retention. But it does it's job good enough. I can include one of the old school Nylon sheaths depending on what comes with yours. This is one with the natural or tan micarta and brass tubes... I'm thinking that was more uncommon with this model. Looks cool the brown and brass together. This thing would look right at home in a worn leather sheath. It's got lots of scratches on the blade (most likely debris in the sheath at some point). So cosmetically it's a 7... physically and structurally... it's a Busse. I can get more detailed pics if there is a legit trade offer for a BA-E.
