TNT Dingage?

I also have a ding. They said you will be “dinged” when shipping is within 30 days. Looks like we May all get some TNT-15 goodness soon!

Jellyyyyyyyy

Skunk
You really got dinged already?

Did you go Raw Dog or is your sword protected?


MM

I had another dollar hit in my CC, so I am assuming (yeah I know) it’s for the TNT. Yeah, I went the bare asset version. AND I have already preordered a canvas mutant piece of plastic from David.

Nice!

I'm still wondering what kind of sheath I'll get.

Maybe an open spine...


MM

PERSONALLY, I wouldn’t go with an open spine on a straight blade. If the strap is around the blade and the handle retention failed, the blade could very easily come out. Now in something like the Chophouse, where the blade itself has a “hump”, it would need to get past that as well.
Just my cent and a quarter (adjusted for inflation don’t ya know)

Good to know

I believe David has also said open spine is best for Kukri, etc


MM

Ha! I'm afraid it will be another year before I can afford pants for my dog...probably more like two. I'll have to get out of the doghouse first

I ordered a smoker for Father's Day. It wouldn't have been bad, but it cost $450 shipped. "But" says I "I talked them down $100! Think of the money I saved us!"

That argument never seems to work...

Not even when she told me I HAD to buy myself a smoker so I could cook the dinner we're responsible for providing for her family's reunion next week.

If I get my AR9 pistol sold b that I just finished building for myself I'll be able to say the TNT was the birthday present she forgot to get me. If not, I don't know how to explain the sword AND the big pile of gun parts I ordered. Midway has crazy discounts for your birthday if you're registered on their site...which may have started me down the path building the AR9 pistol in the first place....

Does it matter that I was able to get the parts to finish the Grendel builds for my two daughters? Nope (well, OBVIOUSLY I had to get some parts to finish a build I'm working on for myself while I was at it...and bullets to load for my daughter's and my Grendels and the 6.5CMs). My wife buys that "think of the money I saved us" argument even less when it comes to guns and ammo... She'll be thanking me when the zombies start riding though!!!!!

In the woods of Ricky Ricardo: " [I'm gonna] have some 'splainin' to do!"

Life is hard for squirrels who are attracted to shiny objects....I mean, my brain is the size of a macadamia nut for Pete's sake! Is it any wonder I have no self control or attent.... Hey, what's that over there???!!!

I agree with both.
Me personally I would go fully enclosed unless you are carrying strong side and want to draw that way then exposed spine will let you draw better.
But Saber/cross Draw is the way to go, it has worked for over a 1000 years

Oh yes, a nice kydex will be a must! Still undecided how i will carry it though and im in the same boat DT so at least ill have a bit of time to figure it out lol! HEY IS THAT A SHINY CHALLENGE COIN I SEE

No more dingage?



MM

I was dinged another $1 on the 16th as well. I'm wondering if we'll be charged the full balance before the end of the month...I went Raw Dog because by the time I heard about it, that was the only thing left to get and I didn't want to miss out, lol. I might look to see if I can trade it for a coated version later, I'll need to get it in my hands before I decided though.

K/K, Howdy and Welcome to the Yard.

KK, like Tom said, welcome to the Dog Pound. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back relax and hang on. Pretty good gathering of folks here.

Morning guys. Welcome KK!

Thanks. This will be the first sword I've bought in a very long time and the first Busse (kin) blade I've ever preordered. 15 inch blade, 1.5 pounds, but with a POB that's 2 3/4 inches in front of the guard. Sounds like it will have serious cutting power, but still be pretty quick in the hand.

Morning yard. Welcome KK. Just watch out for that private skunk guy hes wild

Noted.

Yeah, being a FORMER Marine he can get rather testy until he’s had his post toasties . Now myself, being Retired Air Force, always ready to drop a load. No wait that didn’t sound right. Always being ready to, we’ll something, helpful. Yeah yeah, that’s it, always willing to be helpful.

Still no dings

Might help that i finally rembered to put some money in there

LOL.

How long on average does it take for them to invoice you once you've been hit with the second $1 charge?

KK, it seems to vary depending on when you got in, alphabetical by your name, or because of some arcane Voodoo spell Dan picked up when he was trying to get Jerry to let go of some more INFI steel for the Mini-Trash Dan is getting ready to build. And it won’t be long. I overheard Dan’s dog talking to our little Bella about it just earlier this week. I mean all I could hear was barking, but I KNOW that’s what they were barking about.

Nice !

You can tell that Skunkhunter was in the Chair Force ; he is always carrying a "full load".

I came for the knives.. and stayed to watch skunk and klink

We're here all week, and don't forget to tip the server.

We recommend 20 percent. (Inflation don’t ya know)

Cheques are in the mail gents.

I just wrote 20% on them though.. because thats what skunk asked for

He has a LOT to learn.

Drats, Foiled again

Dinged and shipped.

For the grab bag that is...

We're waiting for pics Rich.

And try the veal!

The surprise bags are arriving and there are 2 posts on BF with pics and 2 Yard protos. I love one of them...like a tricked out taliwacker with a tan handle.

I hope that Proto is also a "Soon to be released"


MM

I was just coming to ask if anyone saw that proto.. looks like a product of a tali X urgent fury X res c love child

It DOES look interesting.

Sigh** still no doubble dingage

Or veal ..

Fairly certain since i didnt order any bags no protos either

Just meat sweats a slight hangover and a little dog whos got the poops.

Still no dings?


MM


All the recent releases were sent out so fast I think I got spoiled.

The DB 4-21 is sooooooooooooooo sweet!

Other than the second $1 ding, not yet. I thought we might get dinged before the end of the month, but now I'm starting to think it won't be til next month.

Just like the Gallo brothers, Dan will make no dingage until it’s time.

Thank you sir... may i have another...

Didnt the fine print say the winners were suposed to get theirs 2 weeks earlier than the pack ..

I am pretty sure all the WS-621's will have to ship before anyone gets dinged for the TNT
I have my stonewashed 621's but no word on the coated ones yet.

I could be wrong though.

Another day, another no ding. Still keep watching the forums constantly and checking the status of the order...

Haha, now that’s dedication!

LoL !!!

K/K, you're our kind of Dog!

Thanks, but sometimes I question my sanity, but considering my chosen user name, the answer should already be obvious.

I saw the SCRAPYARD KNIFE SPECS thread, the first and only time (Until now) they made a sword was 11 years ago! So I'm very glad to have gotten in on this run since this clearly doesn't happen often. That having been said, I still would like to see a full sized version to go with this waki, not counting on it happening, but it would be very nice to see.

As for my TNT's, I'm still "waiting fulfillment"

Yup, what he ^^ said (but I could only afford one. I need to keep one kidney for myself)

Awaiting fulfillment also klink

I suspect we are all in the same boat, but at least we know our order is in.

Aye, I could only afford one, but I'm grateful to be able to get in on this at all. Unless this is going to be the start of a trend towards Scrap Yard Knives making swords, I'm afraid it might be many more years before we see something like this again.

You just never know.

And you can only swing one sword

Assuming theres a beer or drink in the other

Or Dog food!

Oh it don't mean a thing if there ain't no ding....

A new month has come, will we get dinged before September? Guess we'll see...

https://youtu.be/UaEC-lWSlmI

^^^ I guess we know what T-88 is doing while he waits for the "ding"!

Hehehe

T-88, I just couldn't pass that one up!

Someone on the Busse forums reported that they got invoiced this morning.

I just checked my order status ........... "awaiting fulfillment".

Aye, same here, but I'm sure our turn will come soon.

Just checked mine the other day too with little hope and no luck

Soon I hope.

Shippppped :):):):):)

REALLY ???????

No Debit Dingage here. Guess Dan is just sending mine free since I am such a Really Really good guy. OUCH! I think I injured myself pattying my own back.

How do you check your order status?

Log in to the home page.

Thanks

Well you did name her

Congrats, Your baby is coming home!!


MM

You deserve to receive yours first T-88, so congrats to you. I see that I was dinged on the 16th, but still "awaiting fulfillment".

I noticed they hussled me up front. I wasnt sure how to go about ordering it and think i got it sorted close to last call if not on it. ONE OF MANY REASONS over the last year my blades have thinned down to literally 95% busse/kin only ... Im not somone who will use or especially endorse a product unless i truly respect the company and its owner(s). I cant get on the "ya but the quality speaks above the arrogance" etc.. If i dont like you or the people you choose to represent your company i wont support your business.. lets just say the busse family has filled a major void and i am VERY gratefull and happy to be here.

They are definitely top-notch.

They draw quite the good crowd aswell

It's too bad that Busse quit going to the Blade Show, as it was a chance to meet Jerry, Dan, and some of the crew as well as many Busse addicts. It was a lot of fun as well.

Yes, indeed. Would have been a fun toad trip.. Oh on anothee note... THERES PICTURES OF THE TNT POSTED OVER ON BF !

Thanks .......... I'll check it out.

Almost damaged my iPad drooling!

Patti has begun the process. Oh the effects of sharpened steel...ENJOY

Dan

Thank you sir, I'm sure I will enjoy it very much. Not sure when I'll be dinged, but I do know that I will be among the last to get theirs as I ordered on the 28th, nearly missing out on the run.

Still "awaiting fulfillment".

Same, I'll most likely be waiting the longest since I got in on it when there was only the Raw Dog finish left. More pics and impressions have now been posted on the Busse forums, this last stretch of the wait is going to get harder and harder the more people get these in their hands and post pics.

Well, we will get ours eventually.

Just checked, no dingage. Dan should fill orders alphabetically, or maybe by post count.

Two Raw Dogs dinged and shipped!

Woot!

MM


Also if Dan has a chance, a few people over at BF are saying the Res-C feels different. That this Res-C is harder and not as grippy, so maybe the formula or process has changed.
I'm sure it will be awesome no matter what

Get ready shrubbery!

I can get behind that skunk lol

I just got dinged for mine today!!!

(Happy Dance) (Happy Dance) (Happy Dance) (Happy Dance) (Happy Dance)

Just checked. No dinging at the First city Bank of Skunk.

Jeff, I hope you post pictures with the sheath you make for it.

some res c shiny satin favorites

Did the dings slow down on these

Still no dingage here.

STILL "awaiting fulfillment".

I GOT DINGAGE! But the site still says awaiting fulfillment. Either way, my card has been charged.

Just got an email. My status has changed to “Awaiting Shipping”.

Me too. Hopefully we will be around when it arrives.

Same here !

WOOO00OO00OO!!!

This week would be nice.

Tomorrow would be better!

I have mine

So its time for Dan to move on and give us a new release


MM

Not very likely, as it's a Holiday.

Hey it could happen. FedEx delivered our chainsaw today.

That's probably because they are afraid of your wealth; you might buy them out.

Hehe, yeah go RanEx.

Maybe this week ???

Still awaiting shipment.

Spoken like a person infected with the steel virus LOL

Dan

Dan, thanks for getting mine out so fast.. skunk hope yours comes soon !!

No change.

Oh I think it’s pretty certain we have the Steel virus. And in our cases I don’t think there is any cure.

Now about that Mini-Trash. Remember, 4in blade with just a mini choil (say about the size of a chainsaw file) or 4.5in with a full one finger choil. Oh and you could mimic the Ash 1 handle, but in Res-C of course.

Noooo. Still awaiting shipment. Don’t they realize some of us are old and might die at any time? And our dying wish is to see our beloved TNT before we enter into eternal sleep.

Lol @skunk so true, anticipation on this one is killing me ugh I just moved into “awaiting shipment”

S/B, you're in good company.

Change is good !!!

It was nice of you to say that Tom, thank you.

Still Awaiting Shipment. Well I here goes another 20,000 brain cells, not to mention some more graying hair.

I don't mind if the hair turns gray, just as long as it stays on my head ! But like you, still "awaiting shipment".

STILL Awaiting Shipment! I may need that heart transplant after all. A new heart means a longer life.

My heart is good, but my hair situation could be improved.

I’m still awaiting shipment too. Anticipation makes it sweeter!

Hair and beard started greying in my early 30s .. glad my tnt came quick i cant adford to lose and more to the light side

The wait IS getting rather old.

Guys, im sure Dans just taking his time and personally hand sanding every inch of your TNTs to a beautiful satin for you.

It would be super cool to have your jyd numbers etched into the new offerings.. especially since im getting close too

Still “awaiting”, but I KNOW it’s gonna be worth it.

I just got a ship notice. So hopefully this week.

Way to go M/B !

I just checked ; "shipped" as well. Oh yeah !!!

As long as you get it before Randy that's the important thing


MM

Being an East-side Kid, he will probably receive his first.

Holy cow! Just got a UPS notification. TNT-15 due here TOMORROW!

Pics and first impressions Randy !

Show 'em if you got 'em!

Well shazbaht. Now they’re saying tomorrow.

Boooo

I will believe it when I see them in our UPS driver's hands.

I will believe it when I see it in MY hands.

I just checked the progress, and it is apparently on its way to the UPS hub servicing our area. I would guess it will be Monday.

Today’s UPS status, Out for delivery!

Mr UPS had a smile on his face when he handed Patty my TNT. Patty not so much.

They are here, and they are SWEET !!!

AMEN Brother. But mine is single and is lookin for a swinging time and he don’t care about if she has a deep deep Suntan. He KNOWS they’re all the same inside.

Randy, you're weird !

But it keeps ya guessing.

You guys happy with hem?

YES !!!

TNT Rawdog with CBT. OH YEAH.

LOL!!!!
