The Battle Grade is Coming!!!. . . The Battle Grade Is Coming!!!. . . Sneak Peek!

I am just imagining what it will look like NEKKID....OH MYYYYYY!

And with "BUSSE Battle Grade" etched....SEXY....;) <I can dream about you, if I can't hold you tonight>
 
Time to roll up the other brands and leverage scale of resources. This is just an effort to validate the model…

That said…daddy wants a BG AK !!
 
Damn, I just told my wife I was done for the year buying knives. But the Ash has always been on my list and now here it comes from swamp rat. Sounds like I will be making lots of dinners for a while. &#128516;
 
Only question I have is that a lot of the folks on the boards really swear by INFI, does the fact that these will be SR-101 make anyone disappointed? I'm fairly new to Busse collecting, but it's INFI is a truly incredible steel. I have a few rats and a few hogs, and both perform really well. INFI should hold an edge better, and have better corrosion resistance, be a bit less likely to experience chipping. I can say INFI holds and edge really well, but the SR-101 seems to as well.

Thoughts?

Maybe The Gladius will come in the new steel and a price range that I can afford

In 2001, right after the attack on September 11th, we built the first and only Busse Combat blades ever made out of SR-101.

In the 14 years since then, we have been inundated by police and military units with requests for more Busse designs to be made out of this material due primarily to its now legendary performance characteristics and price advantage.

We have always planned on doing this but have been continuously restricted by our insatiable need to drink too much . . . errrr. . . . I mean restricted by our manufacturing capabilities.

Now, with greatly increased production capabilities at our Wauseon, Ohio shop we are proud to announce that the time has finally arrived!

As part of our new “Operation 2 weeks” we will be offering some new, and some classic Busse designs in this high performance, high value category.

The first blade to be offered in this series will be a “Battle Grade ASH 1”. :eek:

These Battle Grade models will be run in very limited numbers and will not be offered again for at least another year or two . . . or maybe never. To start with, these models will only be offered for approximately “2 weeks”. All of the above is subject to change, but that is the plan as of right now.

So stay tuned for the launch of the “Battle Grade”. :cool:

Let's Drink! :thumbup:

Jerry :D

SR101 IMHO holds an edge longer than INFI, but is more prone to rust, and supposedly chipping under severe abuse (though I've not experienced that problem myself.) If you don't mind a coated blade then SR101 is sensational and a better price for performance. If you don't like coated, and prefer more rust resistance and the ability to resist chipping for easy field honing, then INFI is a better choice. You will however need a fatter wallet. Either will serve you very well. The ASH1 design is my favorite for camping/hiking. It is a powerhouse in a moderately sized package.

SR101 has 90% of the performance of INFI at 60% of the price. And some folk think it has better edgeholding in small knives, while the toughness of INFI shines in bigger blades.
