I might get something, if the price is right. There are 2-3 that look verying interesting. Can't wait for the prices to come up and then I will make a decision. Does anyone know when payment has to be made? Tonight? A day or two? When shipped? Good Luck Everyone!

I'll probably pass. I'd like to have a comp grade hell razor and comp grade jack hammer but my funds are a little low right now.

I'm probably in for comp blades, although I've been overspending again of late. However, with the delay of determining who got what, payment will probably shift to the next CC billing cycle.

Good luck to all who plan on trying to score at the Ganza. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I think I did about all the damage I need to do to my funding for the time being at Blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Cool, but when do you get this e-mail? I get paid Friday, will this be too late to make/send payment?

I'm still waiting for the mud puppy to be released, so I'll sit this one out.

Some of my coolest knives have been obtained thru the ganzas.

Hi Roo,

I will send payment on my Mud Puppy either Friday or Sunday, I just can't wait any longer, lol I might even get a second one when the store sell's them, lol

Well the pricing/ordering post has been made at BF, but I cannot get into it here at work, crap. Would it be ok if someone could post it here. Thanks.

I tried selling a kidney so I could get a SARSquatch but nobody would buy it !!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I want to get one to but I need to buy a kidney.

Anyone know the blade length on the hell razor and jack hammer???

Really appreciate that ronin.

No problem.

Hell Razor: 7" Blade, 12.5 OAL, .187 Thickness

Jack Hammer: 5" Blade, 10.75 OAL, .187 Thickness

aw man this is harsh. the jack hammer definitely the sexiest of the compG knives but i don't really use 5" knives. plus dcdm's are on the way.

sarQ. can't pass that up or i'll regret it forever. Jerry's killin me.

I also would like the SARsquatch, Hell Razor, Jack Hammer.

The only one I'm interested in is the competition grade Sarsquatch.

Here is my list in order of preference. Hopefully I will get my first choice.
1 Competition Grade SARsquatch...$287.00
2 Tan/Tan SARsquatch...$287.00
3 Black/Black SARsquatch...$287.00
4 Special Edition Nuclear EDC...$257.00
5 Competition Grade Jack Hammer....$267.00

I'm really tempted by the comp finishes, the SJTAC, SFNO, & FSH but I'm not too crazy about the SE handles. But since I don't have to work tonight, I will try to get something.

same here. i guess i'll get a tan or black if they're out.

Nice selection Gratefuldog, mine is only one-off, lol

I might even move the Nuclear EDC up to #2. The more I look at the photo, the more it is growing on me.

I have black one coming in.....soon I hope. If I get the competition grade, I'll try to make the other one as close to it as I can with my cheap sander.

A comp grade hell razor or jack hammer would be nice but I have four Busse family 5" knives so a jack hammer would be extremely redundant <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> The hell razor is easily justifiable but I don't have an extra $300.00 at the moment <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

So I'll sit this one out and see what the yard offers down the line <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I'm with you there Jackell! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />




Gratefuldog, the Nuclear EDC is an interesting knife, I picked one up at Blade. The front edge and point are made like a lot of other Tanto type blades. I guess you could call it a Penetrator edge and point. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

That blade is unique. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Someone talk me out of the Comp JH and HR..... Really.

Ted you don't want those Uber Sweet knives...

There yuh go <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ted all I can say is that you'll kick yourself if you do... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


But you may kick yourself twice if you don't get one or both. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


I really like my Jack Hammer! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


And the HR and SARcg are real nice too...sorry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I've handled about 80% of those knives and they're great, but I just don't have the money to get any of them. But if I did, I would get a Sarq, HR, and the Special Edition Nuclear EDC (because it looks nice). After handling the DF, I'd rather save up and get that instead.

Joe,

That is a VERY SMART Junk Yard Dog talking there! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thank God I bought them when I did... I'd be going out of my mind by now if I hadn't. The Mud Puppy is the perfect Scrap Yard EDC that even Sheeple think is ... and I do quote "Cute"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
I showed it to my Pastor and she responded with that word. And by God she's right!

It IS cute! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The soft gray mudder handle makes it appear non threatening to sheep I guess cause she went on about that grippy little handle too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


I know I would be making darn sure funds for the Bird and Puppy were Squirreled away.

Bird? Puppy? Squirrel? Sound like a chase on the front lawn! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Any way... sound thinking my dear friend. That Scrap Yard release is a MUST have. I assure you that in NO WAY will you be disappointed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

They are extraordinarily hard to stop holding. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Enjoy the wait...it's worth it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


Peace.

I must be stupid. What is a Ganza?

It's a sale of Busse Combat blades over on BladeForums:
Humpoganzaaaaa Pricing And Ordering Procedures!!! . . .TONIGHT!!! (6-25-08)

Thanks. I figured it was something like that.

Are you sure on that Jack Hammer length? I've seen postings of saying that it's the same length as a Satin Jack, which would be 6-inches (see The Hammer of Jack!).

It's the sound of the vacuum in your wallet after being swept up in the moment. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

The jackhammer sure looks the length of a Satin Jack to me.

Sorry Jim your right, how did I miss that.

http://hogcult.com/

Well, that just about describes me at Blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> However, I'm kicking myself for NOT buying a Jackhammer along with the other blades I bought! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> I will try for one tonight, but with my ultra-slow ISP it will be a long-shot! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

i just ordered a boney AD yesterday


so my vacuum is full

A vaccuum indeed. I wish I had the coin to play.

I guess I am out.
Just scored a great deal on a SAR 5 so my knife cash is gone for a while.

final countdown. I still can't decide....

I'm in; probably shouldn't, but I am.

My Skinny ASH & 2 Tan BADs arrives today, along with 3 Sus Scrofas, 2 HI Khuks, and a few other knives, plus an HDTV this month. I'm trying to keep the economy stimulated.

just remembered to write my draft. taken care of!

BF is locked up!

Busse forum is locked up too

Looks like it will be an auto go at 9:55

I haven't gotten BF in a while / BC is hit & miss.

Yup, locked up for sure, lol

it's always auto go. i've seen the actual GO thread maybe twice.

I think I successfully restrained myself

It's ok now.

those SE's have me so torn I could hurl.

Not anymore

hmmm. i'm thinkin i may rather have the tan coat instead of comp G.

It is tough. Too bad we aren't rich!

I have actually moved away from most coated blades. They get scuffed up just sitting around and I truly believe an uncoated blade cuts better.

and maybe i'll add the satin jack to the end of my list....

I had a draft ready and oddly enough not to much trouble getting in, but common sense caused me to not place an order. I'm safe, right?

If you were in it wasn't the right time.

yeah Mag. The SJ's are calling us...

I think I'm gonna wuss out though. I'm trying really hard to.

I'm only going for 1. Still need to have some money for the MPLE

Still no issue getting into the Bussecombat forum. The BF forum is slow, but the other one is not bad.

I'm pretty much done with this. I will try with the emergency and that's it. I did not know it would be this crazy.

Looking more and more like an auto-go at 9:55. I bet Bladeforums hates getting shut down like this every three or four months.

It's all about the hunt. Makes it that much sweeter when you win!

If you win.

'Ganzas are just about always like this.

That is true.

im getting pi$$ed



atleast i get like 200 PM's for my $50 a year

do i change my order preference?!?!?!?!

It's a wonder they tolerate it. But the Busse site is usually active.

how do you guys know when it is 9:55 on the clock that matters?

The only time it ever goes down anymore is during a ganzaaa

Yeah, plus 5 each, lol

Yep, Busse brings a lot of traffic to Bladeforums.

Only 10 more minutes of seeing...

I just got a load of BC, no go yet.

I have the official US time clock from the Naval Observatory on my desktop. I am going with that.

iirc
jerry will say
9:55 pm EST


or whatever time w/ the correct timezone


i would pull up the post but
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

that just means less blades for you!

change it Mag! hehe nah I can't say that. I'm going to pass this time. I still have BCS blades enroute. I'll probably kick myself later, but it won't be becuase the blades I already have aren't getting it done.

I know its EST, but what I'm saying is what if my clock says 9:55 and theirs says 9:54?

I haven't gotten on either site in like 20 mins.

If you are early then it is "No Soup For YOU!"

it does. wait.

Hey, be nice, lol I'm cool with that though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Getting close.

9:52 by BF's clock

Email time stamp is what matters

oh man!!!!

The deed is done! Now to wait. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Off she went.

ganza email sent

Sent per emergency backup plan; In the pipe, five by five.

all my clocks say 9:55 now

i gave it an extra 30 seconds or so, to be sure.

I'm screwed, lol

So, does a 'Ganza qualify as a denial of service attack?

shouldn't people be done F5ing now? why is it still locked up?

I also gave it about 10 seconds, we'll see, lol

We broke the Internet.

BF is still down, lol

We'll have to call Al Gore to invent it again lol

She's up again.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Synchronize your Internet Clock to US Standard time by right clicking on the time and "Adjust Date/Time". That way you can send your email QUICK!

BladeForums shows no "GO, GO, GO" from Jerry, so the Emergency Backup rules were the proper protocol.

i checked my sent mail, 9:56. wonder if i still made it.

not that tan or black would be poor consolation prizes. i was thinkin of puttin the tan first.

I hope everyone get's what they wanted, Good Luck!
