Value estitmate ABA LE and DABA too

If a run of the mill ABALE is going for 6-7, I wonder what the Proto is worth! :eek: :D:thumbup: I should have held onto the other three or four ABALEs I had. That's life as they say.

My DABA is one of my favorite users, as it my Jungle Buffalo Soldier.

Proto...lets see, same price. "I'll take it" if it's snake:thumbup::D

Really though, I would love to see a pic! OK, Please
 
I wouldn't mind scoring a DABA myself. :cool:

One of these? With the SARs around these will just be a collectors item. :rolleyes:

All the ones I owned had the Custom Shop logo, I have never seen one with the SHE logo on it, not in person anyway. Has that DABA have a swedge grind on it Tony? How thick is it?
 
For some strange reason, my Inbox is not filling up with Sale offers. :p
 
Bubba,

Think back to the timing of the holes you dug.:thumbup:

Think about what I put "into" the hole and then removed later.:p

Besides, you said you wanted to learn "Boxing", so I just started with your Ears.:eek:

Edited to add.

Keeping old Busse Knives is a Virtue and Selling them is a Sin?

Well, the Good Lord Knows that I do like to Sin now and then, well every once in a while, so to speak.

Besides, if I find a young Woman who really can not get by without having at least a few of my Kids, I will prolly leave them a portion of the Busse Knife stash.

Just think of them as an extention of this Forum, all of them your Brothers and Sisters, they Need Knives Too.

Here is the pic I saved from the forums back in 2003 when Jerry was teasing us with these.

Here is a pic of the one I believe to be the same knife. Second one down.

I am thinking of bringing it to Blade for Jerry to verify and see if he did the grinding himself. I handled the Proto ABALE at the Indy 1500 when I first met Jerry face to face. Been too long for me to remember if this is one and the same though. I got an incredible deal on it though so even if it isn't the proto, I am still quite happy with it.

This post just brought a little tear to my eye. Nothing like the love of a father for his son. :p

Great pics, PG. Thanks.

I like the BAIII Choil/guard, thin slabs and straight handle much better than that of the SAR5. I'm glad the SAR4's will have a guard.


Tony...That Is the tan/tan BAIII right? The .150 DABA is a very differant knife than the reg BAIII I feel. Just feels so differant from the reg BAIII's(IMO). But I know you now love the fatter one's. I remember when you mostly liked thin... have you got any ABA's left?

And if the SAR5 feels anything remotely close to a ABA I'm really gonna kick my azz for not getting one.
 
How many ABA le's where there????


and yeah Its a guess right...
 
Thanks for the pic PG:thumbup:

Never seen a sterile one, that just may be a proto. Has some awesome color in those slabs!
 
There were 262, I believe. I got the last one. :p

You know Jerry never tells that,
Give something away to the one that put's up the highest #:p

Really though, I can't remember seeing one over #200, though there were probobally a few more than that...heck I have no idea:confused:

edit- there was that one highazz number Guyon got, think they made it special for him(when he was on the list)
