Sheesh. This is killing me. I hope there are a ton of these, and they sit there for a while. I really, really want one, but there is just no way right now. In about two months, no problem. Right now, before Christmas? Are you kidding me?

Quoted for truth!

I think even sometime mid jan would be fine!

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I want one. But does it make more sense to get one of these or a FFBM?

Pluse you can use your CC on these.

Get one. The LE I mean. You will never regret it! But the FFBM is amazingly, ridiculously awesome, too. You're gonna need one of those as well.
 
I love my FFFBM (blue & red G10 handles)! An LE would be awsome but for $697?

I thought I would post the below quote from a buddy of mine. I emailed him regarding ordering one and his response was a tad entertaining...

I'm saying if you bought 2 LE BMs for $697 total, you still paid a lot for them.... IMHO of course.

Why not head to the busse forum and post.. "Hi all, I'm seriously interested in the mighty LE BM for $697, but my friend that has owned 1000+ knives says 'only a total retard would buy a Busse at 1/2 that price'."

I am assuming many on the forum would disagree! As I mentioned, I have a FFFBM and love it. The Mag Fusion handles are some of the most ergonomic and best feeling handles I have ever laid my hands on. Plus the Fatty is a monster! But also a steal at around $450.

Another $250 for a Satin finish and Tiger Hide Micarata Handles? Is it worth it?
 
I can tell you that at least for me, the LE FBM is the most awesome knife I have ever held in my hands (so far). It's huge and the fit/finish is too sweet. The satin is very well done. I would imagine that some of the custom shop knifes are yet another level. Worth the money? Only you can decide what its worth. It really is a lota jack for a working man.

As for the choices, thats what makes the world go round and why they make 31 flavors!

LOL! "a lota jack for a working man"... with 2 young kids at Christmas time! Needless to say my boys are spoiled, which of course also means bad timing for an LE FBM to be at the BCS for me!
 
I guess the Busse LE pricing are pretty consistent if you compare it to blade length to total cost...

Model______Blade Length___Cost____Cost/in of blade
ASH-1 LE_______6.5"______$497______76.5 $/in
BATAC LE_______5"_______$397______79.4 $/in
FBM LE_________10"______$697______69.7 $/in

I looked at blade length since I the handles are roughly the same length (5.5" to 6.0").
 
I swear that there must be a huge banner in the Busse shop that reads:

ALL YOUR MONEY ARE BELONG TO US!!!

I keep coming over to the computer, opening up BCS, looking at the FBMLEs, blinking, then quickly shutting the computer down and leaving the room. This is bad. Didn't I just drop $1000 plus on Infi like LAST WEEK?

Jerry, you are the devil.

Good idea, KnifeFury. I remember doing this myself about a year ago. The results are interesting, eh?
