I have a Busse Combat NO-E that I want to trade for something else Busse. I would really like something like an older Badger Attack. My only rule is that it have micarta handles not G10... and I prefer a blade that is .25" thick. I will consider thinner blades... but they are not my preference. Would really like to get into something like a straight handled badger or BA-E or perhaps even a Badger III. A sheath would be nice but not a must if the blades are the same value. Will consider larger blades as well like Steel Hearts and BMs of similar value. But I'm more of a BM fan than SH. Anyway here is a description of some of the work I've had done to it.
new trades considered.
Strider AR
Nice Axe
Surefire LED Lights
Fenix LED lights
35W or above HID Spotlight (No junk please like the ones you buy at Bass... Serious lights only)
Bags, cases and pouches in OD or Black (Prefer Maxpedition, Blackhawk, Eagle Industries, Kifaru, Eberlestock, various other high quality companies)
handguns (9mm, 45, 357sig) (Prefer HK, Glock, Sig)
AR-15 or AR-10 stuff (Uppers, lowers, mags)
Ammo (9mm, 357sig, 45, 5.56, 308, 22lr)
Survival Gear (Including Bushcrafty type knives and especially goingear fire steels)
Some of these items will need something extra with them to equal up in overall value. Other knives or gear or whatever.
First the sheath is the OD green Busse factory sheath. For some reason the original owner put an L on the back. I have a friend that makes furniture rounds the front edges of the handle slabs because those blocky E series handles were just uncomfortable to me. He did not use any heavy power tools to do it do there are no worries about the metal being ground... just the coating was blemished right at the edge of the handle scales. There are some blemishes in the coating in other places... I tried to get a picture of most of them. This knife is used but not abused. It's in awesome shape. But it's not a safe queen. I also sent it in to Bill Siegle months ago to have him change the old assymetrical edge to a nice happy V grind and add a penetrator tip. I have two of these and they both got the same treatment... the one I'm keeping has been used since and let me tell you... that edge is no joke. Easy to sharpen and cuts all day long. Much better than the factory grind IMHO. This knife as not been used since coming home from Bill's shop. so it's razor sharp. It's .25" thick INFI and ready to see some action. It's not a mint collectors piece but it's a performer and ready to work. Shoot me an email or PM me. Pictures are on the way.
