In short (prices include shipping conus, insurance, Paypal fees, so what you see is what you really pay):
Busse Sar 3 (Black Canvas Micarta) $175 Sold
Case Bose Norfolk (Chestnut Bone) w/ William Henry Clipcase $275 Sold
Spyderco Atlantic Salt (PE, Black Handle, BNIB) $45
Spyderco Atlantic Salt (PE, Black Handle, BNIB) $40
This is a brand new knife with the box--factory everything, never carried, etc.. I bought it as a back up when I heard they were being discontinued, but I'm tired of it sitting around already. It was sitting in a drawer and seems to have picked up some scuffs on the clip (they don't go down to the metal) and chipped off paint at the screw.
Case Bose Norfolk w/ William Henry case $275 Sold
This is the chestnut bone model, carried only once and sharpened once when I first received it (it's very sharp with a clean edge). I see zero marks on the bolsters and blades. There is a scuff (not a scratch) that I tried to get a picture of on the shield; the only thing I can think would have caused it is from sliding in and out of the sheath, so I imagine rubbing it with leather or something similar would hide it. Fit and finish is perfect (flush in all positions, etc.). The bone was rubbed with Formby's lemon oil, and the blades were lubed. I am including a William Henry pocket sheath I bought for it, which it fits perfectly in (it's tight enough it won't fall out by mistake but not so much that it's hard to remove). In the pictures, it appears more orange than it is, but really it has very nice reds.

If you look at the bottom right side of the shield of the next one, you can make out the scuff I mentioned earlier. It's almost too meaningless to mention, but as the only imperfection, I figured I should.

Here's the sheath:

Busse Sar 3 Black Canvas Micarta $175
I am the original owner. When I received it, I sharpened it and hit the blade with sandpaper to improve the finish. The grind lines aren't completely gone, but it appears like a mirror finish at certain angles. It had the effect of lightening the Busse logo (it is easy to see at certain angles and harder at others). I will include the sheath (pictured) I made for pocket carry, though it isn't a great one. There are some scuff marks from the kydex on the blade. It was only carried a few times and used fewer (which is why it's being sold).
