I met Amy, Lexi, of course Garth, Drew and the rest of the crew again. I got some very cool stuff and will post pics soon -- possibly not tomorrow as I hear it's going to rain and I prefer to take pics in natural light.

The sort-of good news that there were SS4s, but I only saw two and was only able to get one, so apologies to those who hoped I could get one for them, but that one's mine. It's unusual compared to the originals in that the blade is tanker rather than black, and it's not marked as being INFI, although Garth assured me that it is.

The very good news was that there were many Mud Puppy CGs -- they're coated even though the blades are 154CM (I'm not sure why). They were priced at a mere $59.95 each. I went a bit over board on them, but I was there, they were there, and 11 of them followed me home.

There were Scrapper 5 CGs, Dumpster Mutt CGs, Cupidvores, a few SoDs and Dog Fathers, and even a couple Yard Hooks. I think all of the hooks sold, and perhaps the Dog Fathers, although I wasn't paying a lot of attention by the time I left.

My Busse Combat acquisitions were two Jack Hammers (both sage with black paper Micarta handles), two SFNOs (one muddy, one 'bama clay, both with hand-shaped tiger hide LE handles), and one SarSquatch ('bama clay with tan canvas Micarta).

Jeff and his wife were there. There were lots of familiar folks there, and the cheesecake and pizza was good. It was especially great to meet Amy, who I have spoken with on the phone many times.

The story so to speak about the SS4's. I found four SS4's in a box under my desk. I got tired of kicking that box every time I sat down. I decided to see what was in that box....I had forgotten that I put them there a while back...actually before the first offering. They were part of my original design batch. So I had a logo put on them real quick and handed them to Garth as he went out the door for the show. They are made of INFI and I had coated them gray to distinguish them from the main offering.

I am glad to see you got one, enjoy

Dan

Wow...so that is how our dreams are made!

dang hit the lost button early..

but I'm always looking forward to what you score. really glad you got on of the SS4 and after hearing the story about how these came about i think they made it to the right hands.

Those Mud Puppies are pretty nice. And didn't expect to see jungle green on the S5. Wondering if these mudders green or the grayish handles on the LE?

But all nice scores.. Congrats!


JYD #82 yup...
