Available for sale or trade, the rest of my Bark River collection and some Busse/kin.
The Barkies I'd been collecting them for a few years, but slowly but steadily have been liquidating them over the past year or so. These are the ones I've had the hardest time letting go of. They are the best of the best, and true works of art. Normally I like to wax poetic about my knives, but I can't do these justice, so I'm limiting descriptions to stats and features.
The Busse and the SYKCO are as different from each other as two knives by the same maker can be, in that one was purchased as a cheap(ish) user and the other is basically a museum piece. See each listing for details.
Please see individual listings below for notes on each knife.
***TAKE $20 OFF LISTED PRICE FOR EACH ADDITIONAL KNIFE YOU BUY***
I am looking primarily for sales, but would be interested in hearing trade proposals for knives by: Busse/kin, Gossman, Carothers, Fiddleback, Osprey, Cohutta and Dave Beck. These are the only makers I am interested in right now. "Looking for: Busse NMSFNO LE, Busse Fusion Huck Fin, Busse Basic 13, Gossman Short Bolo, Gossman Kubo II."
I think the prices listed are in all cases at least fair (some of them excellent deals). You may feel free to make offers, but I am not dying to sell any of these, so don't be surprised or offended if I don't take you up on it.

3. Busse Combat Anniversary Straight Handle Battle Mistress Limited Edition (ASHBM LE). Satin INFI and hand-shaped paper micarta scales. I purchased this from Busse historian dericdesmond who stated that it is likely a one-of-a-kind due to the combination of the hand-shaped scales, non-swedge, inclusion of a finger choil, and the numbering in place of a logo. This this is in 99.9% mint condition. The only thing keeping it from 100% is a super light scratch that I have not managed to capture in a photo which can only be seen in soft lighting.
Specs according to@duramax:
Blade Tip to handle 11 1/16 apprx
Spine to edge at choil 1 7/8
Spine to edge at middle 1 7/8
Thickness 5/16
The only things I would trade this for would be one of the specific items listed in my signature + cash to even it out.
Offering for$1,000 $950
4. Scrapyard Knife Company The Resiprene Anniversary Steel Heart 1 (SYKCO TRASH 1). Black powder-coated SR-101 with Res-C handle. This is a light user, but you can't even tell from photos. Catch and release for me, offering for what I paid. Comes with an awesome Azula leather sheath that fits like a glove.
Offering for$180 $160 That is one heck of a deal for this blade with a fantastic sheath to go with it! ***SOLD***
