Looking for sales, but would consider trades for an original Team Gemini with black canvas micarta scales or a Team Gemini Crusader.
Price as listed is the cost to your door (TYD). These will be cross-listed and time stamps will be used to determine buyer order.
Terms and conditions: Please post an "I'll take it" message to the thread, followed with a Private Message. If you don't have PM privileges, please post your e-mail address in the thread (and delete your e-mail after I respond.) Please don't post an "I'll take it" unless you unequivocally agree to the terms of sale noted in this post. Attempt at payment must be made in good faith within 24 hours of claiming an item or I will move on to next buyer. Prices listed are the cost to your door via UPS Ground. I will pay for signature delivery at your request. Extra insurance also available if you will cover the charges. PayPal, Venmo, or Money Order accepted. No shipment until payment received! I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DENY SALE FOR ANY REASON.
Contiguous 48 US states buyers preferred, Alaska, Hawaii, and International buyers considered. If you live outside of the lower 48 US states and would like to buy a knife, please contact me directly before posting an "I'll take it."
1. Busse Combat Jackhammer
WITHDRAWN
Oh-so-cool CBT INFI with false edge up top and rare Smog G10 scales. Has been stripped and lightly used and carried. Logo was not etched but still shows faintly. Edge has been stropped and is in great condition with no defects. Sorry, no sheath.
2. Swamp Rat Mega Swamp Warden
$120 TYD
Mighnight Blue coated SR-101. Comes to you from the first owner (me!) new and unused, with a black Danny the Bull leather sheath. On sale at the official Swamp Rat site now for $118.95 + shipping, or buy from me for $120 with free shipping and a free Danny the Bull sheath.
3. Busse Combat Nano Fusion Natural Outlaw
$450 TYD NOW $440 TYD! (SOLD)
From Jerry's announcement thread: "Here's a killer cool blade that falls right between the Ergo Natural Outlaw and the SF Natural Outlaw. The NFNO sports a 6 1/2" blade for ease of carry and has been coupled with the wildly popular Nano Fusion handle. The NF Natural Outlaw screams for whatever abuse you deem necessary to survive the worst that mother nature can throw at you along with any and all rigors of the battlefield."
This one comes with BIG Satin finished INFI and black G10 scales. Unused, but minor shelf/handling wear. Still looks and feels great. Sorry, no sheath.
4. Busse Combat Forsaken Steel Heart
$500 TYD NOW $485 TYD!
From Jerry's announcement thread: "INFI allows us to offer the other original clipped point blade design with the much pointier tip! We have now fused the straight clipped blade of "the Steel Heart that got away" (Forsaken) with the all new Nano Fusion handle! Couple this with the CBT (Corrugated Bevel Technology) and you are witnessing the birth of a new, soon to be legendary Busse Combat blade!!!"
This one comes with BIG Satin finished INFI and black G10 scales. Looks to have been resharpened--great edge with a mirror polished finish. I think the previous owned must have used one of the guided systems, like a Wicked Edge or similar. Also comes with a very well-made black kydex sheath (very secure--no rattle) by an unknown maker.
5. Busse Combat Team Gemini Light Brigade
$525 TYD
This is a "Stripetition" TGLB (stripped and sharpened by AZTimT) with INFI steel and black canvas micarta scales. The scales were bead-blasted to make it grippier. This has been used lightly and shows some slight scuffs on the bevels, but still hair-shaving sharp and has no damage. Maybe THE classic Busse. Buy alone or add sheath below for another $100.
6. Patriot leather sheath for Team Gemini Light Brigade (sheath only)
$125 TYD
Dangler-style sheath with crocodile skin inlay. Elastic band around the back of the snap opens the retention strap automatically upon unsnapping so that you don’t accidentally cut the strap when pulling the blade in or out. In excellent, nearly new condition! A work of art. Buy alone or add TGLB above for additional $500.
7. Busse Combat Team Gemini 14
$750 TYD NOW $730 TYD! (TRADED)
This is one of only two or three Ban Tang TG14 regrinds. INFI blade has been given a clip point and incredible full-height convex regrind. The pommel was reduced to address balance after material from the blade had been removed. Hasn't been used and looks great, thought there is some minor handling/sheath insertion wear. Also comes with a beautiful Armorall Leather sheath (love the distressed leather look) which matches the tan canvas micarta scales wonderfully.
8. Busse Combat SARsquatch and SAR 3 w/Modular Chuddy Bear Sheaths
$1,050 TYD NOW $1,000 TYD!
So much to say about this set--and yes please do consider it a set. Selling the whole set for at least $200 under what I have into it (Probably more like $300
). Both blades are obviously made from INFI. The 'Squatch has been reground by Josh of Razor Edge Knives. From previous sale thread:
The SAR 3 (pretty sure it's an LE, but not 100% sure it isn't an SE) is factory satin with black paper micarta scales. It's in great shape, but does look like it may have been sharpened (quite well, if so!); otherwise I would have thought it was unused. 0.15" stock thickness on my calipers. Can be carried as a piggyback on the 'Squatch's dangler, or separately by itself.
The sheath is leather from Chuddy Bear and as mentioned above, the SAR 3 can go piggyback or solo, while the main rig has a couple extra kicks that are perfect for survival gear. My Scorpion Streamlight fits perfectly into either side, for example. Despite some very minor handling wear, this rig is in excellent condition! Chuddy doesn't take orders any more and Josh's books are closed, so you will never seen another rig like this!
Thanks for looking!

). Both blades are obviously made from INFI. The 'Squatch has been reground by Josh of Razor Edge Knives. From previous sale thread:- Reground & Satinized <600 grit>
- Atom-splitting, scary sharp convex edge
- UNUSED besides testing with copy paper since optimization
- Black canvas Micarta handles were sandblasted clean and fresh
- Flared tubes drilled out by Josh & replaced with stainless Torx to make handles removable
The SAR 3 (pretty sure it's an LE, but not 100% sure it isn't an SE) is factory satin with black paper micarta scales.
