I'm still not sure, yet. I don't know if I can really afford to fly there, so I'm tossing the idea around of riding a motorcycle out there.....
I know I'll kick myself if I don't make it this year, I missed out last year.

Too bad. Who's going to keep you in line?
The Busse ladies I guess. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />............ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Re: Blade 2013 - 02/07/13 02:54 AM
Just remember - Pics and it did happen.
Well, considering the fact that the General is the one who downloads all the pics to Photobucket, the pics won't be TOO incriminating! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />........ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Re: Blade 2013 - 02/07/13 02:59 AM
Sounds like you might be safe this year.
Most of the pics of me with the ladies were taken by the General! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> She hasn't threatened me yet! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Re: Blade 2013 - 02/07/13 03:05 AM
Only thing left is to get tickets. Is it worth getting early admission?
The Busse group usually offers VIP tickets to forum members, which gets you a discounted price and in two hours earler than the general public on Friday.(the tickets are good all three days) The first hour of the show on Friday Busse normally offers a 10% discount to it's customers, so it is DEFINITELY worth it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Re: Blade 2013 - 02/07/13 03:12 AM
When are the VIP tickets offered?
I think they usually offer them in April, plenty of time anyways. You take the VIP tickets to the windows for a discounted price at the show.
Chow time.....catch ya'll later!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Last year was my first time and enjoyed it very much. However I must skip a year, as I am wearing out my beloved 4x4 comuting to work and need to buy a car soon. I really thought it would be a yearly trip but maybe every other year aint so bad.

Wool! Room is booked at Double Tree by Hilton from the 30th till 3rd.
Just 1 kilometer from Cobb Galleries.
Gonna be great!
I decided to leave the girlfriend back here in Denmark, so I can focus on the task at hand: drooling and buying blades.
Is the 'Early bird' ticket a good idea, if you want to spend some $$? I mean, are the knives for sale gone quickly?

Busse gives away free VIP tickets closer to the date, you get in early on Friday. There is a handful of knives out at the beginning of the show ( honestly, the good stuff gets bought up by the people that some how manage to score exhibitor badges) but there are offerings at different times each day that everyone has equal chance at ( they throw tickets at the crowd)

Re: Blade 2013 - 03/23/13 08:52 PM
So Im kind of new to the knife scene and was wondering if there is a West Coast equivalent to Blade?
There USED to be a Blade West, but it was dissolved a couple of years ago. A shame, as that's where a proxy got me my Chopweiler. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Re: Blade 2013 - 03/23/13 10:58 PM
Well, I do hope to score some steel, so I better be there in good time...
Do you have to bring cash, or can one pay with a credit card?
Credit cards are fine! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> As mentioned, exhibitors actually get the best chance at the unusual or nicest stuff, but the "Early Bird" pass still gives you a better chance than the general public, and gives you a reduced admission cost.

Just bought the early bird ticket yesterday...
Planetickets tomorrow when my paycheck arrives.
Now that is gonna but a dent in the knifebuyingbudget <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
How is it? Is there usually a Bussekin evening event of some sort?
There is not any actual knife buying event going on before the show, but on Friday afternoon after the show we go to Fuddrucker's restaurant for a nice get-together. Saturday night after the show we all go to Jocks & Jills restaurant for a Busse sponsored dinner (they rent the entire restaurant), located at the Galleria. That is where they do the "induction" ceremonies and have fun and games, all of which is family-friendly. There are also chances to win shop credits which you can apply to your knife purchases. It's a great time that you DON'T want to miss! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Sunday when the show is over the crew gets busy taking down the booths, etc., so you go on your way, savoring a great weekend! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Re: Blade 2013 - 04/22/13 05:50 PM
Me too..
Who is that fella with that smirk of a smile in the second pic
I would have a smile like that looking at those blades lined up there!
Brother, you are in for a treat!
I'm thinking more and more that I'll make it this year again. Probably a Saturday only trip, again, but better than nothing.
Even a half a day is worth it. I hope you can stay for the induction dinner...total fun and good food
Dan
Dan, Todd was inducted last year and I'm pretty sure he had a good time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Thats right...very cool. I may have had a beverage or two that night

Safe travels to all!!

Dogs, if any one of you could oblige me in being a proxy on my behalf at Blade I would appreciate it. Let me know via PM if you would. I don't want much.

Yes, that would be great.
Would be fun to put a face on "e-mail Renee", that I have bothered with countless e-mails since mid 2011.
I hope that Renee can make it to Blade this year!
Only 29 days!!!

I THINK what you are referring to is on Saturday night. But someone that has been there (TOM) could better answer it.
How's the "Great" Dane this day?

Re: Blade 2013 - 05/04/13 08:20 AM
I am great.
Just opened the shop, and hope to sell a load of glasses today
So far, I am off to a good start. My top salesgirl just closed to the deal on a pair of 1000$ glasses.

He he, those are glasses in the middle of the pricerange
The prices of optics are ridiculous in DK!
Not running them down, but I did have an attempted burglary a week ago.
Luckily, I was up and awake when the police called at 3.30 AM
Sat waiting for Jerry to post the GO GO GO... for the Taliwhacker Ganza
Posted By: SkunkHunter
Re: Blade 2013 - 05/04/13 08:37 AM
Did you yourself a Tali-Whacker?
Oh and I see you are going to be at Blade. Will this be your first trip to the States?
Posted By: Rasmus
Re: Blade 2013 - 05/04/13 08:44 AM
Yup, got myself a Taliwhacker. Will pick it up at Blade.
Not my first trip to the States. Have been there 3 times.
My sister actually lived in Atlanta for a while, so I visited her twice.
This time, it will only be 4 days, concentrated around Blade.
Would be cool if you could make it. It is not that far from you...

Re: Blade 2013 - 05/04/13 08:51 AM
Last minute funds SHOULD be coming to us, but alas not until the 4th of June (IF everything works out), so I was going to make a reservation then we got hit with a $5K doctor bill (my insurance will not pay), so.....
But tell 'em all ole Stinky said Howdy and to have fun.

Re: Blade 2013 - 05/04/13 08:59 AM
That is too bad!
Not the kind of thing you want to spend your money on. Well, you have to, but it ain't fun.
BTW I scored the #22, right behind your #21 Taliwhacker.
Posted By: SkunkHunter
Re: Blade 2013 - 05/04/13 09:02 AM
COOL! It Tom scored it for me. God I hate being the the debt of a Marine!
Haha, seriously though, Tom has scored three blades for me now. The Tali-whacker in the Ganzaa, and a couple three years ago a Wardog and Busse Combat Wardog HACK at Blade.
He's a really good guy.

Re: Blade 2013 - 05/04/13 09:04 AM
I suspect you're really gonna have fun at Blade. BUT, beware. If someone offers you an Long Island Iced Tea or just Iced Tea from the Bar, SIP IT ALL NIGHT LONG! If you start guzzling them one after the other, you WILL regret it (If you live)!
Posted By: Rasmus
Re: Blade 2013 - 05/04/13 09:13 AM
I look forward to meeting Tom!
And no worries, Randy.
I am a beer and scotch person. No fancy drinks for me
Rasmus, most of the time I just drink plain old sweet iced tea with a slice of lemon, but I WILL have a few beers at Blade.
How about that Fuddruckers and Jock & Jill thing?
When is the roll call for that?
They will post something about the induction dinner and asking how many will be there. Fuddruckers is immediately after the show on Friday. Don't miss either one!
Looking at all these posts about Blade makes me really sad that I can't go this year. I'll try real hard to go next year. In the meantime, I'll try to feel better by getting another Busse.

Re: Blade 2013 - 05/17/13 01:42 PM
So, as a newbie here, I guess Blade means a new introduction of SYKCO knives. Do they show up on the website at the same time as the show, or shortly afterwards?
I see a lot of folks are hoping for something special. How long are the Blade knives generally available?
Posted By: Rasmus
Re: Blade 2013 - 05/17/13 02:54 PM
Well, in 2011 the '11 series was presented, and we are still waiting for the release of the 611, so it takes a while before the Blades presented at Blade are released.
Last year Dan came up with the SYKCO Dagger, which is still in the shop.
He also presented the Elmax knives, which were only available for preorder at Blade. Those never made the orderpage. The Elmax knives have also been sold at Knobcreek.
Is the 611 definate or just the posslbility of a release?
Posted By: Rasmus
Re: Blade 2013 - 05/17/13 03:55 PM
According to Dan, the entire '11 series is a definate, so it should come out at some time...
If you haven't seen pics of the 611, I can tell you it is a pretty cool knife.
6" with a Regulator handle. More of a fighting style knife than the rest.
That 611 does sound good.
Susan and I WILL go to Blade this year. We are so looking forward to meeting more wonderful dogs in the Yard.
Good News
See ya there
Dan

Should I?...ok...I'll spill a few not so secret beans...lol
There are items only available at the shows. Never know what or which / how many of the 3 Bussekin brands will be offered, but it's always worth the journey. Some never reach the order pages.

Re: Blade 2013 - 05/20/13 09:53 PM
Well it looks like even the best plans can go awry. Due to health reasons I can't make Blade this year. I've been planning this since last summer but I think taking care of my Mother far outweighs Blade. I'm keeping my hotel reservation until the last minute in case things change but if they don't is there anyone that could proxy for me?
Posted By: Rasmus
Re: Blade 2013 - 05/20/13 10:25 PM
I am sorry to hear that!
Hope things turn out for the best...
Me living on the other side of the world makes me unfit as a proxy, but I am sure someone else will step up.
Posted By: SkunkHunter
Re: Blade 2013 - 05/20/13 11:35 PM
SO sorry to hear this Hobbes. But Yes she DOES take first place. Something you will never regret. I also was planning on going this year, was about 1 day away from making my reservations then got hit with paying a doctor bill that I could have bought more Steel with than I could have carried.
Best wishes for your Mom.

Re: Blade 2013 - 05/20/13 11:52 PM
Thanks guys. She's just going to require someone to be with her at night for the next couple of weeks after her surgery. I'm going to split this with my daughter since we are the only two that can take the time to do so.

Re: Blade 2013 - 05/20/13 11:55 PM
Glad to hear it's not something long term. Two weeks can be difficult but it needs to be done. As the saying goes, been there, done that and NEVER regretted it.

I was looking forward to meeting you and the other dogs I've talked to over the last year Klink but there's always next year.
I told Skunk I would grab a brown 411 for him if they had one so keep your eye out for one. Nothing worse than an unhappy Skunk.
