It pains me to let these go, but now that I'm back in the city again they don't get any use...well that and the fact that I need to raise some funds for the following: a couple of rings (for my upcoming marriage?! I'm still wrapping my head around that one 
), and if I'm lucky maybe a small portion can go towards a new blade as well (hopelessly hooked to steel, i know...).
1) Busse CGFBM w/ snakeskin micarta scales and original nylon sheath. This was unused when I purchased it, stripped it myself, and then later on had Nate (NorCalBlacktail) polish the spine and put on a lazer sharp convex edge. I made the D-guard and the simple ugly---err, functional lanyard for added security while chopping. This knife did get some use before Nate worked on it, but it was never abused. This hasn't been used since Nate did his work so it is still screaming! sharp and ready to get some work done!
New Pics added 1/20:
I took these new pics after spending exactly 4 minutes with a scotchbrite pad...she's good to go, in excellent condition and would make an awesome addition to anyone's collection
This is one of my most well loved knives and I NEVER thought I would sell it, but it has to happen so enjoy this chance to adopt a truly awesome Busse
I'm asking $700 shipped + 3.5% for Paypal fees -- SOLD --
2) SYKCO 1311. As you can see from the coating it has been used a few times. This one has never abused but the very last time I went camping with some friends, I let someone use it and he basically chopped it into rocky desert floor while trying to clear his tent area which did some edge damage. FULL DISCLOSURE: There is some warping of the edge, but it should be repairable with a steel rod and then good to go after a nice sharpening session. I tried to capture the edge warping with these photos but I would be happy to take different shots at your request...if nothing else, I'm sure ScrapYard would take care of it for you as well. Includes duct-tape reinforced tactical cardboard sheath.
Asking $200 shipped + 3.5% for Paypal fees SOLD
Paypal is preferred for this sale. I really need the cash but may be open to a trade for the 1311 once the CGFBM sells...either way, I will entertain any reasonable offers and am happy to answer any questions or fulfill any pic requests you guys may have.
Thanks for looking!
