Don’t forget about Busse Collector if you’re just looking for specs.

...or "Arizona Custom Knives".


They sell a buttload of Busse (*both New and Pre-owned), and I believe that they actually take a caliper to each knife that they list.

Sorry if this is a hijack, but I don't think my question is worthy of a new thread...


Can any of you old-heads tell me what the deal was with the numbered and un-numbered versions? I've seen both, and have no clue as to if they were part of the same run.

Thanks in advance.

ASHBM is awesome.
about .33'' thick
around 11'' long
feels very well balanced

So, just to be clear JayMT , my numbered SHBM would be a 2013 "Anniversary LE", correct?...








*Thanks for your post and your help.

Im no expert, but from the information available, based off Currawong time capsule links and what is seen on busse collector catalogue.

A 20th aniversary stamped ASHBM numbered in Satin would be an LE originally sold in or around November 2013. (your blade would be a ASHBMLE)

*Thanks for your post and your help.

Going by that image, your knife is known as an 'Anniversary Straight Handle Battle Mistress Limited Edition". AKA: ASHBMLE, in acronym lingo.
NOT to be confused with the ASHBM 1/300 Limited Edition series, which are serialized as "xxx of 300"

Finally!...I actually know what I own.


I appreciate your post, and those of JayMT . (*I'm pretty [and relatively] new to the whole "Busse" game)
