First, the business stuff.

I will not separate sheaths from the blades, and I am not currently looking for any trades except for a PB&J Big Jake in unused condition.

Pricing--All the prices include paypal fees, and USPS Priority shipping w/ signature confirmation in the US.

Shipping--I will ship (included in the asking price) the purchase through USPS Priority mail, but I WILL REQUIRE SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION, and I WILL ONLY SHIP TO THE CONFIRMED PAYPAL ADDRESS FROM WHICH I RECEIVE THE FUNDS. I apologize, but I do not wish to deal with international sales at this point. Also, if available, blade will ship in the sheath.

Please read the descriptions clearly. While unused pieces, that have only set on my shelves, they were all purchased 2nd hand by me (as unused). They may have some scuffs or scratches, especially in the case of those with sheaths. I have however done my best to describe them and photograph them. ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN WIPED DOWN WITH A COATING OF MARINE TUF-CLOTH.

If you have any questions about dealing with me, please look at my feedback score, and please do not hesitate to ask questions or request more info.

If you are interested in a piece, please PM or email me. I will get back to you quickly with my paypal address. Having said that, I reserve the right to do business with whoever I please for whatever reasons I please.

Upon receipt of the item, I would appreciate if you could please let me know if you are happy with the purchase through email and feedback here on the forum.

Lastly, by agreeing to purchase, you are indicating you are at least 18 years of age and in compliance with all your local laws.

Item #1
Swamp Rat Ratmandu: SR 101, tan blade, tan canvas micarta handles, acquired several years ago, never used for anything, not even to cut paper, can find no discernible marks on blade
Short Spec Ops Sheath, with custom kydex sheath like insert by Mashed Cat, holds blade securely with click
PRICE: $238 SOLD AND SHIPPED (this is less than what you would pay for it all together...the knife from Busse with the Spec Ops sheath, plus shipping for both, would be right around $220, and the custom insert and shipping to Mashed Cat for fitting would be well over $40, putting the value at a conservative $260)

Item #2
Swamp Rat Crash Axe: SY77 (purported to be S7), muddy blade, dark brown canvas micarta handles, purchase second hand as unused BUT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING IT HAD SOME SCUFF/WEAR ON THE COATING, WHEN RECEIVED IT HAD ONE SMALL DING IN THE EDGE THAT IS VERY SMALL, DING AND SCRATCHES LOOK TO HAVE COME FROM STORAGE NOT USE, NEVER USED BY ME
***I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO PHOTOGRAPH THE IMPERFECTIONS THAT I COULD WITH MY CAMERA, PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS CLOSELY, THIS IS NOT A PRISTINE PIECE
Okuden custom fitted kydex sheath, with rubber retention strap, slides in the top
PRICE: $265 SOLD AND SHIPPED (this is right around what you would have paid for the axe and sheath new after paying for shipping, so despite the imperfections, I think it’s fair since they don’t come up often)

Item #3
Swamp Rat Chopweiler: differentially heat treated SR 101, very crinkly muddy blade, dark brown canvas micarta handles, RECEIVED WITH A COATING OF REN WAX THAT I NEVER REMOVED, never used by me to cut anything, some minor smoothing of coating along spine
Long Spec Ops Sheath, with custom kydex insert by Mashed Cat, BLADE DOES NOT CLICK INTO INSERT…IT IS A FITTED FOLDED OVER PIECE OF KYDEX THAT HOLDS THE BLADE VERY TIGHTLY SO THAT IT CANNOT MOVE AT ALL
PRICE: $365 (after factoring in the cost of the sheath, the custom insert, and shipping this is paying well under $300 for the blade)











 
Item #4
Busse Fat ASH1: INFI steel, black crinkle coating, magnum black micarta handle scales, never used by me for anything, can find no issues with it, perhaps minor smoothing of coating
No sheath, cardboard edge protector
PRICE: $550 >>> NOW $520
