1.) SH-1 ("STEEL HEART-1"): Double-cut (bead-blasted) ATS-34 blade with black micarta handle scales; it has been used and sharpened and the double-cut finish has a few scratches from the previous owner's sharpening efforts; $895 now $795 SOLD
2.) Bird's-Beaked Humpbacked Steel Heart-2 (top knife in photos): not sure of the steel, but it is almost surely A2; some flaking of the black coating which is typical of the A2 blades; unused; $795 now $695 on hold
3.) Steel Heart-2 (bottom knife in photos): not sure steel, it's either A2 or INFI, only Jerry could tell you for sure; it has been used a little and a previous owner scratched some symbols in the black coating just forward of the micarta handle scales (visible in close-up photo); $795 now $595
*** NOTE: The following SHBM's are listed in the same order as shown in the photos, from top to bottom.
4.) Apprentice CG SHBM (???): not sure about this one, it's either an apprentice blade for a SHBM or it may have been a Justin Gingrich blade made from a Busse blank; either way it's an interesting piece of Busse history; unused $395 SOLD
