First Run BM-BA-SH II *PICS*

[slowride11]

Curiosity has inspired this post. I noticed that the price guide sticky lists the Battle Mistress at $347 (1999). In February of 1998 my dad and I each order a BM at $297 each, I am guessing that these are first run? Additionally a SH II was also ordered in February of 1998. I am not exactly sure about the BA, but I believe it was ordered in 1995 or 1996.

One BM (mine) has been used for the last 17 years. I don`t think the other BM, SH II or BA have ever been used for anything and are exactly as they came from Busse. I`m wondering about the rarity and what the collector value might be on all three? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

The brochure is what came with the 1998 knives.

Great story! Better clear your Inbox, the offers will be rolling in.

My estimates:

CG SHBM $700 - 800
CG SHSHII $650 - 750
SHBA $500 - 650

Since your own SHBM is well used, I'll give you $297 for it.

Why would this thread get locked? I'm just wondering what the value is. If I ever decide to sell I will do it in the proper forum. I'm also curious as to how rare these are.

The OP paid for the gold membership, so he's allowed to ask that sort of question.

also, I think resinsuy's estimate on the BM is on the low side, at least for the unused one. I'd put it closer to a thousand.

No, it won't. Why? Because THIS poster has a paid membership that allows such posted questions.
Rules are rules, and that is what it is.

Thanks, but that's not necessary. I've already got mine.
