Do tell! how do you get in on these Ganzaaas?I'm completely ignorant on how to score from Busse the way you boys describe it.
Occasionally, over on the BladeForums:
Busse Combat Manufacturers subforum, Jerry Busse will post an announcement that there will be an upcoming 'ganza event. A few days later he'll post pictures of the knives that will be offered, and a posting to describe the specific rules. I've participated in three, so I can describe some historic generalities, although specifics will vary for each event.
In general, you compose an email that provides contact information and exactly what you want, as well as any second choices, third choices, etc (in case whatever you want most is already sold out when they process your request). Then you wait to send that email to addresses that Jerry will specify in the rules, until he posts a GO, GO, GO thread. He'll specify a time range when that post will take place beforehand, but you must wait until after he posts the GO thread to send your email (or you go to the back of the line). Requests are processed in the order they were received (after the GO) until the available supply of knives is exhausted. Over the course of the next week or so, they send confirmation emails whether you scored or not; if you got some (or all) of what you asked for, you contact them to make payment, then they send out the knives.
