As several of you know I spent 3 wonderful days at this show this last week. I actually went over 2 days early and came back 2 days after the show. Troy was there from Busse ( 360 joules) with Monica and they are super great folks to say the least <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. The only downside was he didn't have ANY SY steel with him so I couldn't fill one single proxy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />!! I did my best- was the first person to his booth- but NADA-NOTHING in the way of SY and only two Swamp knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. I did buy a very nice BWM from him and also looked at three others but never pulled the trigger. I ended up walking away with 12 knives total and having one hell of a great time. Met many people including Sal and his wife from SpyderCo who are great folks indeed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />.Also spent time chatting with Bill Harsey who is a great knife maker and designer.Bill Siegle showed up at the Busse booth and happened to have something very cool with him that I ended up coming home with <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Maybe next year we can get Dan & Jerry to bring more SY and Swamp steel as there were many hungry buyers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Would also be nice in any of the Dogs- Rats and Hogs could get together in Eugene and have a dinner or ? Let me know and we will put something together. All in all it was one heck of a graet show <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />-Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cool report! Have never been to a knife show and would love it...

Did Koyote Knives go?

I've always wanted to move to Oregon, but a reason to visit( busse knife show) would be fantastic

Thanks for the report, Ordawg, I wish I was back out there in God's country. You live in one of the best places I have seen.

12 knives??
