Hi, puttin my Argonne Assault up for sale. It includes a leather sheath. I am asking $1250 via USPS Money Order to your door which Im thinking might be too low, we will see. I will consider trades (trade value is higher) but cash is king. Not really looking to trade into any rare blades unless you consider a NMFBMLE rare, thats about the priciest thing Im after. Looking for practical users for the most part. Also need a Spyderco M4 Military, Sebenza, .40-.45 cal glock, glock 19 mags, glow victorinox, saber satin SH's, anything quality.
I have done some research on the AA and have not come across any similar to this one. Most seem to be the Anniversary version, special edition or proto. This one is sterile but fear not, Busse Confirmed it is real, made of INFI and has black paper scales. I will include the letter proving such with purchase. They also said that it was probably a Military Overrun from 2002/2003.
Knives Condition
Great overall shape but it definitely has some minor flaws. The edge doesn't have any nicks, rolls, dents, etc etc but it is a bit coarse, looks original. A light buff will make it nasty. The very very fine tip looks either gone which I doubt, or its was ground that way in order to prevent it from breaking easily as it is VERY VERY fine. It could be made to look perfect though, it would not interfere with the edges lines. The un-sharpened swedge is also very very fine. The powder coating on the top of it is not real smooth. The powder coating on the skull crusher and a few of the knuckles also show some wear/smoothing. Overall, the knife is in excellent condition and could easily be restored to perfect condition if one choose to send it in to Busse. The only reason why I didnt choose that route was because I wanted to keep it as close to original as possible.
Anyone that sees it in the flesh will be in awe. It truly is the most awesome knife I have ever owned, just in no position at this stage in life to own such a rare knife that will never see use.
enough blab, here are some pics
some coating imperfections around the talon hole, that is not a nick in the micarta
