Pure curiosity - which Busse model has stayed on the Busse website for the single longest continuous period, and how long was that for?

I initially began wondering how long on average a specific model stays for sale on the Busse website. I then realised that there probably was no consistent time period and that probably the time varied widely depending on the popularity of the model. So my next thought was what was the longest period any specific model had stayed on the Busse website over the years and what model was that. I know some models have made a reoccurrence on the website (eg. Anniversary models appearing at different times but not in a continuous run so doesn’t count as a single production run), some models have had variations (eg. the TG and the TGLB but I count these as two separate models), what I was curious about was the time period for a specific model in one continuous production period. I realise that this could be a hard question to answer and probably relies on someone who has followed Busse knives for a long period – but I am curious.:confused:
 
I think the TGLB has been up longer than anything I can remember, but I have a few hazy years in there.
 
ASH1 was up for long time...
 
This is some info I got off of the wayback machine. I've listed first date and last date they have an entry for these knives. I didn't include any knives that were listed for less than 3 months. Looks to me like the AALB wins, Dec 8th 2013 will be 2 years for it with the TGLB not far behind.

the e-handles were up for a long time.
 
Fusion Battle Mistress seems like it was up a long time ...at least in my memory
 
I think the first Badger Attack, that flowed shape unchanged into INFI will hold that record, next being the SHSHII(non Bird's Beak), then the Mean Street, with all of the newer knives following a distinct pattern of timing in manufacture..


Edited to add the BBSHSHII after the Mean Street.

Further edited to add, Longest production, not longest on the Web Site!
