I've read somewhere that those swedged bad boys hold an edge longer.... Also.... What other differences, and what's different about the heat treat?

I think Jerry was experimenting a lot with Rc's back then(or so it appeared). The HT process wasn't different(as far as I know), the final Rc was. Lil fo had two with much higher Rc's than normal, those were the Hood SHBM's. He posted a really good thread on those knives and their history. The 300's were higher than normal as well. But we r way off topic. OP got an awesome blade there. I am jealous:D
 
All, feel free to digress! This discussion is fascinating!

In some ways I wish it was in mint condition.... But then I realise I wouldn't be able to play if it were.
 
Dicko, show me the sheath and what is missing. I might have a spare piece for it. If I have it, I can just ship it to you.

That is a beauty and you are a very fortunate man to have one. A genuine piece of Busse Combat history. (Just got a BIG ASHBM myself. A beast.) Google "badmojo.net" and, in Galleries II, click on 'Battle Mistress' for lots of pics and a bit of history at the bottom of the gallery.

hows your hand mr. gravelface?

Gleason: im told its a 1/300. smooth coat. minty as mouthwash. i was told that it had been sheathed maybe twice. otherwise safe queen. i didnt have the heart to beat on the 15' round oak logs i was working on today. the ASHBM had a turn, but not this beaut. shame. im not a fan of safe queens.

It's bundled up tight. Supposedly only 4 stitches yet my hand from my knuckles to half of my forearm has to be covered for 2 weeks!!?
 
"2 weeks" or two weeks...? when i had sliced my meaty thumb muscle almost all the way through, they did the same. gotta make sure NOTHING moves. its a pain, but it seems par for the course


eta: did they ever make a fat skeleton key?

yeah, yours is a standard run of the mill 1/300, like mine:D Seriously though, the majority of the 1/300's were this exact blade/handle combo. Looks minty. With the exception of handles, the entire 1/300 run is exactly the same blade shape and very close in thickness. most of mine were between 0.259 and 0.269" thick. My 1/6 was my thinnest blade at 0.245"
