SPF$300. i'm reluctant to let this one go because of all the work i put into it . . . .
barely used. had a ridiculously thick edge, so i thinned it and convexed it. it now has a nice working edge (thick enough to take a lot of abuse, but thin enough to slice decently).
coating looked bad after sharpening so i stripped it. you can see in the pics a few small spots that didn't come out, even with the polishing from a fine abrasive wheel drill attachment.
this HR has the thickest tip i've seen on any Busse, odd because every other HR i've seen has a very thin tip. i did a little bit of work to continue the swedge all the way to the tip to make it more pointy. it's a good tip for prying.
sheath is more used than the knife but still in good condition. originally made by Gravelface. i modded a thumb ramp onto it. not the most professional job, but it works fine and i don't see it breaking any time soon.
all told, it'll make a fine user.
hard to see in the crappy pic, but there are a lot of peen marks? between the handle slabs and where the grind starts. only on this side.
domestic shipping only. MO or paypal (will split fees, so +2%)
