ill be there.

maybe just for morale support for fellow dawgs....

gotta buy a refrigerator & tv sunday!

morale support I like that. Maybe we could just get over to the side and form a cheering section. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I might make it there on Saturday

I have 3 and I am a HOG, well if Amy giving you a name means anything...

"reconSwine" hey she gave it to me... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I had 3...why was I rejected?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

The names I suggested were: Hamdy Wayne, Porkenator, HamDandy

So how do these things normally work with the big shows? I assume they have some old stock and whatnot for sale? Will scrap yard knives be available there, or just Busse stuff?

I'd love to get my hands on a few of the older SY designs, but am not willing to pay the inflated prices of the second hand market - if I could get a dumpster mutt, or example, I would be all over that!


Not likely, right?

All 3 companies are at Blade. You can see some pics from past shows here: Blade Pics

I like the looks of that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

So will I be able to pay with a credit card???

I have only been to Blade 2007, but all 3 of the Busse family brands were there side by side. New models were available at Scrap Yard and Swamp Rat, like the YKLE and Ratmandu. Some previous releases were also there. Also, special edition and custom shop Busses would be offered from time to time with hogs all crowding around saying "I'll take it" when Jerry would hold up a knife. We didn't even know what the price was! One hog got a ASH1 SE and decided that he didn't want it so I said I'd take it and then I bought it. The price was not all that much more than the standard models, but it was the beadblasted finish they call double cut. I also picked up several Scrapper 6s and a Yard Hook at the SY counter, and a Ratmandu at the SR counter. It's hard to describe the Busse feeding frenzy, sort of like Let's Make a Deal and the Jerry Springer show with knives. All all the other manufacturers tables, things were more "normal" I guess.

Well, I've not been to Blade, but I imagine so. You can use a CC at the 1500 gunshow.

Yes, you can use a credit card - I believe most people do. It's great to meet fellow Dogs, Rats, and Hogs, Dan, Jerry, and so many others!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Just be prepared to drool - prototypes, customs, and of course regular offerings. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

andy
are you really not a hog?
how could anyone reject you. when I first joined the yard you and tom were the anchors to this place. that was way back before vic and chris came along.
