Today is the Day. Going Live at 5:00 PM Eastern on the Busse Combat Website.
We have heard the Squealing From The Trough and We Are Squealing Back.
For years we have been flooded with requests to bring back serial numbered Limited Editions. The Hoggiest of Collectors want the Limited Editions to return to the Trough. The quest to collect a matching serial numbered set of blades has driven many a Hog to increase their alcohol consumption to levels never before thought possible.
What better way to come out of the gate swinging than to start with an icon. The epitome of Busse Combat, the Battle Mistress.
The Limited Edition Anorexic Fusion Battle Mistress (LE AFBM) encompasses all things Busse. Featuring a Hand Applied Satin Finish to the blade, a hand ground swedge to set it apart from all other Anorexic Fusion Battle Mistress and a heavily sculpted Tiger Hide Canvas micarta handle makes for a stunning, yet functional Bad Ass blade. Throw in the Serial Number to start or continue your quest for matching LE blades and you have a cornerstone to your collection that can continue to grow for generations if you are fast enough. The Old Hogs can regale you with the stories of many a bloodied trough back in the day, fighting tusk and hoof, for their personal favorite serial numbers.
Along with the LE AFBM we are also offering the Nano Version of the Iconic Fusion Battle Mistress. Dressed the same as its larger, big sister, the Nano Limited Edition Fusion Battle Mistress features the same Hand Applied Satin Finish, a hand ground swedge, and stunning Tiger Hide canvas micarta handles.
What is better than one mistress? The answer is obviously 2. Whether they become a his and hers set, one for dad and one for favorite child or, my personal favorite scenario, MINE and MINE, you have a set of matching blades that will be the envy of every Hog who doesn't grab at least one of these stunning Limited Edition Blades.
How are Serial Numbers Assigned???
Here's the fun part. It's a race. Fastest to the trough gets their choice. While numbers will be assigned in order, the fastest have first choice at a personal favorite serial number. For example:
Joe Hog is the first order in. He will receive serial #1. But, he has the option to choose a higher number. Maybe it's #52, his High School football number, maybe it's 417, his badge number on the police force, or perhaps it's #13 because that is his lucky number. (Also Jerry's favorite number.)
However, there is a catch. There will be a Special Discount for those who choose to add both of these beauties to their stable of Mistresses. Serial number priority will be given to those ordering the pair. So if Joe Hog is first in and only requests one blade and Johnny Piglet is second in and he requests two blades (1 of each), then Johnny Piglet will get #1 on both his AFBM and on his Nano FBM. The only way to guarantee a specific number is to be the first to request it. Orders with no specific request will have serial numbers assigned by the lowest available serial number. If your requested number has already been taken then you will receive the lowest available serial number remaining. To request specific serial numbers you MUST include the requested numbers in the "Order Comments" section in the shopping cart. I recommend requesting a few different numbers, in case your first choice has already been taken.
Pricing:
Limited Edition Anorexic Fusion Battle Mistress Price: $847.00
Nano Limited Edition Fusion Battle Mistress Price: $767.00
That means to buy the pair you would be looking at $1614.00
However, to reward the most Boarish of Hogs, if you buy the pair, you will get both of these Limited Edition blades, with matching serial numbers for $1347.00. That means you will SAVE $267.00.
