I'm building up my collection of Great Easterns, specifically the double-bladed #73 models, but I'm interested in everything they make. I have a lot to work with- lots of Busse, Spyderco, Benchmade etc. Of course, it may take several Great Easterns to take some of the Busse's, but I'm willing to negotiate. I am also interested in Schatt & Morgan and other high-end slipjoints (Queen, Case, Canal Street etc.), but mostly in Great Eastern.
Busse for trade:
Game Warden- satin w/ blue & black G10 .27" thickness (I think)- mint, cardboard sheath only
Sus Scrofa- satin w/ blue & black G10, comes with beautiful, thick David E kydex, has a few kydex scratches, but the edge is still original/ perfect.
CG ASH-1- doublecut with magnum tan canvas scales- unused but I flitzed the blade, which smoothed out the doublecut finish, and you can see grind marks now. Uber-thick and uber-tough. :thumbup:, cardboard sheath only
Scotch Dispenser- Sage w/ factory lanyard, mint., cardboard sheath only
CGFBM "mudsnake"- standard snakeskin scales with muddy coating. Was used and sharpened by previous owner, has significant wear on coating in the sweet spot, but is in great shape with a sharp, unblemished edge and is gorgeous. I'm not in a big rush to get rid of this mistress, but I have several and probably will never use this one. She deserves a good home, and to be beaten regularly. It would require a good number of Great Easterns to take this one, it is one of the finest Busse's ever. Comes with your standard factory cardboard sleeve.
Spyderco and Benchmade for trade:
I have a big drawer full of Spyderco, and another full of Benchmade. If you have a Great Eastern you are interested in trading, just let me know what you are looking for, and I'll let you know if I have it. I want to keep my 710, but everything else is fair game.
NOTE: Please PM me with offers- I don't wander into the trade forum very often- and might not notice your offer if you only post it here. ALSO: I don't want to spend a lot of time taking and sending pictures, so I will only send pictures once we have arrived at a preliminary deal (once I have confirmed you have something I want).
Thanks and kindest regards,
Andy
