After 2 years of wanting to do this I have finally worked up the courage to try and reduce my collection to a small user base. The courage may not last.
Please note that with the exception of a few that I will specifically indicate as such, none of these knives should be considered in mint condition. I have handled all of them on multiple occasions to take pictures of my collection. They have all been cleaned multiple times, possibly been in and out of their cardboard sheaths multiple times and and have all been stored with a light coat of lubricant. So even if they are unused and unsharpened, there might be some fine cosmetic scratches or marks to be found. For those knives with obvious marks I will indicate them specifically and post pictures. To picture scratches I use macro mode on the camera and angle it to show the scratches clearly - generally they are much more visible in the pictures than in reality where they are sometimes not obviously visible. The use on these knives is minimal so the marks and scratches are more from sheaths, cleaning and storage. Another member just bought my B10, buffed out the marks and posted that it looks brand new in his for sale ad.
If you have any concerns or questions about. the condition of a knife please ask them before purchase and I will gladly provide more information and detailed pictures and/or video if appropriate.

1 - Busse Skinny ASH (Black & Tan on Black) with Kydex Sheath
Condition: Unused. I bought this new. The factory edge left a bit to be desired so I had it professionaly sharpened by Mike Billman at Grindstone Cutlery. There is some coating smoothing from the sheath.
Sheath: This is a thin Kydex so it does not give that rock-solid feel of the thicker sheaths but the upside is that it is very light and it does provide good retention.
3 - Busse SARSquatch 2008 Special Edition Competition Finish with Okuden drop-leg Kydex sheath + River-8 pouch and leg straps.
Condition: Used. I bought it in slightly used condition. The Competition Finish decarb is removed so the blade is beautiful. I used it once or twice for a few minutes only in a chopping video but have not sharpened it. I do not know whether the previous owner sharpened it.
Sheath: Okuden drop-leg Kydex sheath + River-8 pouch and leg straps.
