WTT loads of knives for Busse, Bussekin knife, or Strider

[azboerboel]

For your consideration:

I have several knives that I am willing to trade for Busses or Bussekin (I got bit by the Busse bug again!) All knives have been stored in sunny Arizona and have been maintained.

Strider SMF RW-1. Ranger green handle slab. Carried daily in bug-out-bag in it's own pocket but I can't see any wear on it. Recently reprofiled and sharpened by Murray Carter. Sharpest thing I've ever held. It's going to have to be a sweet deal to get me to let this guy go.

Chris Reeve Classic Sebenza Freedom. Discontinued model similar to the Sebenza 21. Carried a few times so the rough titanium finish on the one slab has a few rub marks as well as the clip. Nothing serious but not mint anymore. Never cut anything. Box, paperwork included.

New TOPS Tom Brown Tracker full size. Certificate included. Never cut anything. Vasoline put on blade edge so it wouldn't rust. Also included is a Mike Bartol custom leather sheath that is similar to the Hedgehog version but this one is stiffer and has a snap closure over the top of the blade. TAKEN

New Bark River Bravo 1. Black micarta handles. Edge maintained so it stayed sharp but never used. Box and papers included. Original sheath and OD green sheath with Tec-lock by Buy Brown. TAKEN

Becker Knife & Tool BK7. Not KABAR, original Becker. No box or papers but I bought it new right after they were discontinued. Put it in its sheath and put it away. Never cut anything.

2 Cold Steel K4 neck knives, plain edge. New in boxes.

Case Mako knife, P158 LSSP. Very nice older Case from the early 80s. This was handed down to me by my dad. Never used but the brass has begun to patina from sitting in the sheath. No rust. Nice dark etching on blade, still razor sharp. Functions smoothly. No box. Blade is marked Case XX, ���SS��, with something underneath.

New Spyderco Centofante 3, C66PBK. Never used, carried, or sharpened. Stored in drawer in original box and wrapper.

Cold Steel Trailmaster SK5. New in box. With original leather sheath and OD green sheath by Buy Brown. Never cut anything.

I am interested in Busse street versions, SJTAC, Public Defender, ASH, Swamp Rat Ratmandeux, Scrap Yard SOD, or Strider SnG or PT CC versions. Busse snakeskin handle a plus (I had an newer CFBM that i sold with the snakeskin handles and regretted it ever since). Feel free to mix and match between the knives listed and make your own combo for trade purposes but let's keep the price range similar please.

I'll check the post every so often for replies or feel free to email me. I can get you pics but keep in mind I'm not a computer wizz so there may be learning curve involved.

Thanks for looking.

I went through the knife boxes and dug up a few more that I'd be willing to mix and match:

TOPS Hoffman Harpoon. New with certificate. The included fire rods have some scratches (I made sure they worked) and the knife sharpener was used to touch up a kitchen knife. The actual knife has never been used to cut anything and still has the grease on the blade. Cordura neck sheath.

Lightly used Spyderco Military with digi cam handles and satin blade, C36GPCMO. Carried it a few times and decided I prefer tip up carry instead. The blade has a faint scratch near thumbhole (from car keys probably) and the black clip shows minor wear. Box included.

Benchmade Griptilian tanto with blade, partially serrated blade, green handles. Model 553SBKOD. New in box.

ESEE Izula, tan. I already wrapped the handle in paracord. Never used but choil area shows wear from sheath (sheath design fault not abuse).

Authentic Vietnam era CIA "letter opener", orange, with hard color matching sleeve. Unused in original box. Blade is stamped on one side with bird and the words Solingen Germany. I'm not exact on the words, but i can get back to you on it. One small tanish discoloration "circle" near the handle. I bought this from the retired agent himself; this is what he told me about it - He was a case handler stationed in Guam during the Vietnam War. He would bring sources to his office and debrief them. The letter opener was issued by Uncle Sam for use if the sources got out of hand but discreet enough to blend into an office environment. The edges are blunt, not like a real letter opener, but the tip is sharp and it's sturdy. You do the math. Only ever seen one other one like this but not in this condition. A must for the collector.

I have pics of all of the items now. Send an email and I'll foward them.
