No. I have not sold my soul to the devil...... but I do think God loves me :D Found this in Eugene today at the OKCA Mini Show. Yes that is the price I paid :D Even came with that nice cordura sheath next to it too :) It's a Fat Mean Street. Chipped coating and someone did sharpen it a little but it is hardly tested at all. A little worst for wear probably from riding around in a dealer's junk box but overall it's in pretty good condition. Spine is .289in :thumbup: Big ole piece of utility steel here!

:eek:

Wow. Amazing score.

Want to double your money? I'll even cover the paypal fees! :D
 
See look at how generous my offer was! Other people aren't even trying to beat it! ;)
 
Damn Bill! You have had a run of good luck at the shows haven't you. Lucky bastid!
 
Somebody's livin' right.

Congratulations, Bill. :thumbup:

I'm assuming that, after you saw it, there was no point at which the knife actually left your hands. :D
 
I gave one to my son (US Army Infantry Major) about five years ago & it's back after two tours in the sand, I just got through cleaning it up, removing what was left of the paint, reshaping the point, & sharpening it..I think this on is .250 thick..anyway, what was the steel in these? A2 or Infi?
I came across this one also at a show & was thrown in on a deal, It had no logo or name on the blade & it was only after it's return that I snapped on the fact it is a Busse..I'm giving it back to him for Christmas..
Thanks for any information. Ruff Cobb
