I have no Heart!

I sold my Ash1CG.

Now I have a SarSquatch. Not the same, but fulfilling, none the less.

Attention Busse experts. Is this HOGFSH w/ desert camo blade a rare model? And any idea how many made? Thanks in advance.

 

[Stump Buster]

That looks like my First Ever Busse that had the skull crusher rounded off and was re-handled by Garth. It may have been sent back for regular handles and a fresh coat of paint. Could just have been a different one someone had rounded off too? The way these things get passed around, who knows?!?!

My first Busse was this SH-E and I beat her like she liked it. Still do.

Even the Skinny ones.

This one from Blade has stayed pretty.​

Probably shouldn't drink so much coffee this late at night.

That custom shop e handle is perfect! If you ever get tired of it...dibs please.

Woah.....Tuica I am assuming that is a custom ASH-1? That red is sweet:thumbup: Never seen a red Busse before! Thanks for sharing

Yes it is. Have not measured thickness yet, but looks to be just slightly thicker than my Skinny. So probably .22". I am fairly new to Bussekins, but have soaked up model data/variations, etc. with a great passion over the last three months. Found this on another site, and bid on it nearly immediately - and just receved it yesterday.

I have seen many photos on BF of beautiful ASH's (and others, of course), but have never seen one like this. Am curious to know if there are any out there like this, or do I have a unique variation?... Cheers.

Perhaps Andy can weigh in on this. He seems to know more about the ASH's than anyone outside of Busse Combat. "Hello Australia"...Cheers.

tuica, that one came from knob creek spring 2013. It got knabbed off the table within a minute of go time.
I can not recall any other busse coated red. This year, a few kinds were released at shows with red coating. Rmd, 311, doggy dagger, but off the top of my head cant recall many others if any busse. Thats not to say there isnt more out there. I would however bet a Swamp Rat Vex on it that there is no other busee out there with red coat and black and tan G10, let alone a discontinued ash-1. If anyone can prove me wrong post a pic by 2morr

Yea I know red is definitely offered as a color option through the Custom Shop, but I have never seen someone actually order it! It looks sweet though:thumbup: But since it is a custom piece, then yea it probably is about .225" thick. I was hoping you had ordered it yourself so I could ask you how long it took, as I am waiting for my very own Custom ASH-1 And Boss Jack actually. I am so excited!! But I hope it is done sometime after the holidays. Thanks again for sharing.

 

[tuica]

Thanks for the info, guys. Have a great Thanksgiving!...Cheers.

 

[nicksison]

Here's one.

Nick, is that thickness a "normal" Custom's .22" ? Thanks in advance...T.

.... I know it was on my "request list" with a proxy at the KC show but was gone fast as D says.... !!! It was the first red Bussue I have seen and to be honest I didn't think it would get snapped up that quick. Is it a .32 ??

 

[tuica]

Thanks for the info, Andy. I saw it for sale on Ebay, and bid on it nearly immediately. I had to conduct a quick search for images of a red one, and not seeing any, went for it. Have only been in "BusseLand" since this past August, but have studied them enough to know a rare model when I see one. It looks to be a .22" - it is a wee bit thicker than my Skinny, but less than .25".

I can certainly see the appeal of the ASH1's. They just look..."perfect."

Now, if I could only pick up an Uncle Mefo, or Lipstick Razor.

Cheers...T
