Skunk,
As with all Busse blades, they are works of art that you can beat the bleep out of, that out-perform all others and that will outlast us all BUT.... It seems to me that the more exotic the variant and the higher the price, the fewer the number of collectors that are willing or able to convince themselves to add them to their collections. (Limited market.) Add that to the recent virtual flood of INFI due to the various ASH models, the Ganzaaas and the blades put up on the exchange as folks liquidate some holdings to finance new purchases and I'm not too surprised to see these ASH variants languish at the Company Store. Worry not, these too will sell and, someday fairly soon, people will post of regretting their failure to purchase one from you and how unreasonable the secondary market prices are.
Personally, my pockets aren't that deep and I'm already into the ASH-1s for one each of all four models: the SE, CG, LE and HOG versions. The greatest # of any one model of Busse that I (will) own. ( A third HR from a recent Ganzaaa got me one w/ MAGS. Had to try one.) I'm also fairly conservative in that I don't go for the truly exotic variants and I've limited my preferred size range to between 5 & 7 1/2 " blade length, what I think of as a general utility size. Just one piglet's humble opinions. Pete
