Shbm Question

[don.v]

what is the interest in this mistress? i never cared for the smaller scales. guess it's just individual taste but i think the fat fusion mistress is a beautiful blade. thanks

 

[Grimspoon]

People covet older Busse knives. I think that's pretty much it. I like my infi FAT, so the SHBM doesn't really appeal to me that much.

 

[don.v]

thank you. i really like the newer blades better.

 

[Uncle_Jarvis]

The collectors go mad over them!
I would love to have one but I don't think spending $1000+ on that blade is worth it to me.
If it came down to it I would rather have a few FFFBMs....

 

[Greg45]

Uh, oh. Cobalt's gonna pop a cork...

The SHBM is a hands down favorite for a lot of old hogs and piglets :thumbup: Feel free to contact me if you want to get rid of yours

i dont think mines as old as some i see here. i heard of busse combat through a article in ASG. when i ordered mine in 99 the only ones i saw had the old style fasteners. after nearly a year wait mine came with the tube type fasteners and black ceramic blade finish.

Here's the actual BM from the ASG article

Don, it's like anything. It is an acquired taste. I have used it for a long time so I am use to it. Others use newer knives and they prefer those. You can sell it and get yourself a few new ones. A mint CG hollow tube SHBM like yours will go for about $1150 these days with original sheath.

 

[don.v]

cool, the article was by ron hood. mine looks like that except for tube fasteners and the black ceramic coating.

I think you need a bevy of different mistresses, depending on what you might be in the mood for. I think they are better when naked.

I now have the ASG issue with the article... a BIG THANKS to JohnTheTexican. :thumbup: :thumbup:

He was kind enough to send me his copy when I scored these 2 from Ron.
They are both pre-release BMs from early 97 given to Ron for the article.
