: In the late 1970’s Jerry Busse began making custom knives in a small 16′ x 22′ cabin with no insulation, heat, or running water. After completing his bachelor’s degree in 1982, he became a full-time knife maker. Making knives on a full-time basis afforded him the time to continue his education and to complete two graduate degrees. He has taught at three different universities while continuing to make knives on a full-time basis. In 1992 Busse Combat Knife Company was formed and it was decided to move away from doing only one-of-a-kind customs and focus instead on implementing the use of modern CNC machinery to help produce a few standard models at much more affordable prices. They now operate out of several new buildings and have grown from a one-man knife shop into a very modernized and highly automated production facility. This Battle Grade ASH was kept in a private collection since it was made. It is in brand new condition and by all appearances it could have been made yesterday!
The blade is SR101 carbon steel, a steel used exclusively by Busse Combat. This steel is a modified version of 52100 carbon steel and provides excellent edge holding and chip resistance. A dark earth coating helps prevent rust and light reflection.
Handle scales are brown Micarta, set on a full tang. The tang extends beyond the scales and can be used as a glass breaker. Lanyard holes allow several different options for a lanyard if extra retention is desired.
To keep the knife close at hand, a Kydex sheath is included.
Made in the USA.
