The Argonne Assault is the official
"Busse Twentieth Anniversary" knife, as many of you now know
although the new Flying Mojo is part of this special Anniversary
issue. These knives represent 20 years of Jerry Busse making the
best extreme performance fixed blades in the industry. They are
unique knives, not to be found anywhere else, and best of all,
they are INFI ! We will shortly be posting pictures on this forum
of all three knives, for now many of you may have seen the ad
that is currently being run in Blade Magazine.
There will be two flavors of the
Argonne Assault. First, there is the Combat Grade which will be
7.5 inches long and features a black coated blade. The Argonne
Assault Signature Series will be a very limited run ground by
Jerry himself and feature the new Busse Signature Series logo
(which is reserved for Busse's made exclusively by Jerry). It
will be a whopping 9.5 inches long and be available in either
satin or bead blast finish.
The Assaults will start shipping
in a little over two months. Inital units will go to Larry Brahms
at Bladeart (sales@bladeart.com)
for the Combat version and Les Robertson at Roberston Custom Cutlery
(customknives@comcast.net)
for the Signature Series. Price for the Combat Grade will be $797
and the price on the Signature series limited edition will be
$1197. The Flying Mojo is $897 and can be ordered directly through
me (marc@bussecombat.com).
These knives are sure to become
collectors pieces in years to come !

Argonne Assault
Update!!
If
you are interested in the Combat Grade Argonne Assault with the
7.5 inch black coated blade, Larry Brahms at Bladeart will be
receiving the first shipments of these knives by early June. Get
your order into him now if you would like one of these knives.
There will be two different versions
of the Limited Edition or Signature Series (which are entirely
done by Jerry Busse) one with Bead Blast and one Satin finished.
Les Robertson at Robertson Custom Cutlery will offer the Satin
finished ones and we will sell directly the bead blast versions
- both will have 9.5 inch blades.
Please note that Les will only have
20 of the Satin finished 9.5 inch AAs. Since they
are so limited I recommend you contact him asap!
Thanks to several requests, Jerry
and I have talked about possibly building a California-legal
Argonne Assault. The only difference between this knife and
the current AAs is the lack of the knuckles.
The knives could be offered in either
bead blast 9.5 Signature series OR combat grade 7.5 inch blade
length. They would be the same price as the full knuckle version
($1197 and $797 resp.).
If you are interested in such a
knife, please email asap. Based upon interest level we may produce
a very limited run of these CA specials.
Let me know !
