I've decided that the ST-Ripper is just about the perfect blade for me! It's the size of my beloved NO-E, but thinner/lighter . . .
So, I'm putting some knives up for trade . . . If you have one, and are interested, let's talk.
Busse NO-E. Black coated blade, Black handle.
Busse Hell Razor. Green blade, black handle.
Busse Game Warden. Black blade, tiger handle.
Swamp Rat Howling Rat. Res-C handle, black blade.
Dumpster Mutt.
First, a NO-E. It still has the asymmetric edge on it, and as far as I can tell it has never been used.
The only wear is near the fuller where it looks like some of the coating has smoothed from contact with the cardboard "tactical sheath".
Next, my Hell Razor. Great shape, and doesn't look like it has ever been used.
Next, a Tiger Warden with a black coated blade. Never used.
EDIT: the Tiger Warden comes with a belt clip sheath that I made, and a tin sheath made by VTW (Valley Tin Works)
Next is a Swamp Rat Howling Rat, with the Res-C handle and original factory sheath (not pictured, but in mint shape). Has been lightly used, and there are a few marks on the coating near the belly of the blade, but they can only be seen if you hold it up to the light and move it around.
Finally, I have a dumpster Mutt. Never used, great shape. Only mark is where the coating has chipped by the penetrator tip (but I think that is from the factory).
not an actual picture, but it looks exactly the same.
Let me know if you are interested in working something out.
