I have a Busse ASH-1 I purchased a few years ago and I was thinking about selling it to purchase another knife I have my eye on. I don't even remember how much I paid for it and I was just wondering what the value of it would be. It has had some light use out camping but it is still in very good condition. Any input would help. Thank
 
Would love to try and help you, but your current membership does not allow you to ask questions on valuation.

WHAT IS MY KNIFE / GADGET / SPATULA / TUNING FORK WORTH ?!?!?!?!

Congrats on going Gold, and for supporting BladeForums! :thumbup:
 
Also, I asked to have your thread moved to the Busse discussion forum, where we can try and help you. Once we see the Gold, you're golden. ;) :D
 
umm, Im still figuring this forum thing out. How do I move this post? or do I need to re post it?
 
Thank you, Esav!

pete-800, welcome the the Busse discussion forum!! :) Do you have any pix of your ASH-1 to help us try & help you on it? ETA: I see the pic. :D

Looks like Urban Grey coated with Magnum tan canvas micarta handles... :thumbup: CG ASH-1, .32" thick at the spine, light use.

Anyone got a guess?
 
I did see that price guide, thanks. But I didn't see anything similar. I posted a photo of it above. It has tan handles and gray blade coating. It is the .22" thickness. I purchased it around 2008 or 2009 from Busse if that helps, I think they do limited production runs if I remember.

If he bought it at a show or from someone who did, that could change the story. :)
 
If its .22" its same as LE blank. This is a great thickness and weight and a better cutter than the .32"

but the .32" typically still brings more $$$
 
I haven't been paying much attention to the secondary market much lately... If I had to shoot an uneducated guess as to what it might fetch now... $350-$375, possibly including shipping... Don't hold me to it! If unused, I might have gone to $400 +/-.
 
Thanks everyone, you have been very helpful. Those specs you posted Jaxx look familiar. I did get it online from Busse.
 
I have become one also!!! Something soooo pleasing about that wide, eliptical shaped blade. Have a Skinny...more to follow...Cheers.
