I say it is my first, because it is definitely not going to be my last. It was described to me as a "slippery slope" by Mike Wood (thatmguy) at the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife Show, and that seems to be true considering I am planning my next one.

Mike sold me a beautiful (albeit nothing fancy) ASHBM. I say it's nothing fancy because I have seen some absolutely gorgeous Busse Knives that came from the custom shop. The Battle Mistress was the first Busse Knife I ever saw or heard of (infamous knifetests.com torture test) and I knew then that I had to have one.

I went and had a custom Shark Tac sheath made right there at the show, and came out just under the cost of an arm and a leg, and I couldn't be happier. I am definitely a Busse freak now.
 
It is a slippery slope, indeed my friend! But don't worry-food, shelter, clothing-all over rated!
 
Congrats and welcome to the madness....there is a small niche market for vital organs once the CC's are maxed.....:D :eek:
 
The Misstresses....you just can't go wrong..... Everyone ought to have one. Got one (nmfbm), will never part with it.:thumbup:
 
Congrats and welcome!

But, if you have been lurking here for three years, then you must know that WE WANT PICS!!!
 
Same here adams, first Busse i heard of was the battle mistress from the same video... I have yet to get one
 
Congrats on your first Busse knife! My first one was a Basic 9, over 12 years ago - I still have it, and a few more too.
 
Thanks all.

I will get a couple pictures up tomorrow when I get my new phone (better resolution camera) so I can do it as much justice as possible within the capabilities of a camera phone.

I think my next one will either be a Steel Heart variant, or a TGLB. Or maybe one from the custom shop. Who knows!

I haven't gotten a good chance to try it out in the woods, but hopefully I can get some good shots of it in action this Saturday after I finish making a couple knives for some guys at work.

I appreciate the kind words.
 
Congrats !!! The ASHBM are awesome blades :thumbup: and you won't be disappointed with a TGLB either. But don't think it will stop there :) :):)
