Wonderful thread guys!
Can new (assuming they don't buy a membership right away) members search these days? Otherwise this won't help newbs a lot unless it gets stickied. I'm happy to add to BusseCollector. It helps me to get submissions from others if something's missing. I did recently get one from Dan, before this thread started.
If you want this thread to be substantially better than BusseCollector you will add the price breakdown for all the options available on each model. I've been wanting to do that.

Date of release would be good info, and help in regards to how long out of production and the appreciation taken place.
I'm pretty sure the original base price for the CG AK-47 was $587, but I have no paperwork/online receipt saved. I'm comfortable putting that price up as tentative until someone disproves or confirms that. I do remember the handle options were pricey.
And AFAIK, Busse hasn't charged a premium for the asymmetrical edge on the Basic 11. They are obviously much rarer and the ones released at Blade 2010 were hand ground by Jerry himself as I understand it, but price was the same as the V grind.
The price of the SFNO LE is a little warped. The 300 were only sold to Hogs originally and they ALL got the Hog Special Pricing. No point in arguing about where to price it. It's just good to know the whole story.
edit: I guess it should at least be posted at $527 instead of $597.
Here's the info from the original post by Jerry.
