Woke up and decided to head north to the Clark Co WA gun show. Walking around I see a familiar profile on a handle. I figure it can't be affordable but I gotta take a look......Got a Very lightly used SH1 9 3/4in blade!!!!! Looks like most of the wear on the blade is from the kydex sheath which looks like early Blade Tech to me. The finish looks almost like a greenish tinted black. and no eveidence of anything other than factory edge(still sharp). Check out the price tag :D I wanted to run out of the show but I managed to stick around and see the rest of the tables :) Oh and I also scored a Bud Nealy damascus tanto for the same price. The guy didn't have any others though. I asked :) I am buzzing so much right now it's not even funny! This puppy is a Steel Heart collection in of itself!
 
Amazing! $65 :confused: :p :)

Lucky hog! I keep looking at the garage sale and flea markets, but so far, no luck...
 
In order to maintain my sanity, I'm telling myself that you paid $65 for the sheath alone.

Congratulations on a AWESOME score!!!
 
Couldn't have happened to a better guy! :thumbup:

Unless you count me. Congrats Bill!! :D
 
I was staring at the price tag and trying to find a zero after the 65 but I asked the guy if it was $65 and he said "Yeah $65. It has a bunch of rub marks on it". Thought for a minute about asking if he'd take $60 But that just seemed rude :D
 
I'll be the first to say it...

ALL SOLICITATIONS BELONG IN THE WTB FORUM. :D
 
Anyone have any ideas on how many of these are floating around? I can only recall seeing a pic of one before. Can't be too many I'm sure.
 
...and to think that you found it within 5 minutes of my house. :(

You could've at least stopped by and let me pet it. :D
 
Wait till RANDUCCI sees this. He may just attempt suicide:eek:

That does it; this is the second time you have pulled this without telling us where that gun show is (the last one IIRC it was a Jack Crain knife). I am warning you, the next time I here about a gun show in Oregon, I am going to have to book a flight.:D

Yer right!! Come to think of it that one was $65 too :D ..........I'm not making any friends am I ? :)
 
Bill, you are making me sick! No one around here even knows what a Busse looks like let alone have one out on a table for $65. I hope your inbox doesn't fill up too much. Randucci will probably offer you some crazy sum for it, my advice tell him to triple his offer and then take it. I have one of the big SH1s and mine does not have the blade stamp.
 
Sjeezzz Bill:eek: That's an insane price and awesome score!! Congrats!
