Thanks!!

Jerry posted another pic of knives bound for Knob Creek! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Awesome goodness! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Looks like either an SS$ or a 411 on that wall <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Of knives or the event?

I'm not big on photo shoots while I'm doing things, but do occasionally snap a couple.

I will not be able to see the TH evening treasure trove of awesome, but will be attending the shoot itself.

Knives are best, but whatever you got is cool
Guns
Women
Women with guns...

1911 grips:



Knives -- it's a little subtle, but some of the Scrapmax blades were clip-point ground; I got a trio of them:



Knives -- I carried that "Bumble Bee" NMFBM around for a while. I was sorely tempted, but decided to pass. With the other stuff in my basket, another $747 was more than I wanted to spend for it, although if I didn't already have a couple (coated) MNFBMs from when they were initially released, I probably would have:



Knives -- The first of those Hunters had an interesting handle. It was shaped more like a BOSS Street handle than the Muk pattern. I thought that it felt very good in the hand (I don't know who got it, but it was gone when I looked):

Jim comes through!!

Thanks brother, I hope you are having a great time

Knives -- Garth said that the wall picture that appeared to be a tanto FBM was actually the FBM in someone's hand in this picture. It was a trick of the light -- there was no big satin tanto at the show:



Knives -- One of the show specials; Satin Jack Tac Military Overruns:



Knives -- The other show special is in the lower right of this picture, modified Tan Desert Camo 911s (slightly curved spine and clip point). I bought a few for myself, but none will make it to the range because they sold out at the pre sale. I know that one of the attendees bought a bunch to sell, so I'm disinclined to spread additional discontent by posting my picture with the sale price:



Knives:

Droooollll

That's some yummy steel, thanks for the pics.

Knives -- I got the two black Rodent Solutions with sharpened spines in the upper right as well as a custom shop Orange/Black RS with an unusual blade and handle shape:

Knives -- I got the harpoon point SAR4 in the bottom right corner:



Knives:

Wow I want my library walls to look like that, well maybe not green but you get the picture. Lol

Sweet!
Thanks Jim, but I will have to hate you for at least short time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I would say that at least half of what the crew brought sold tonight. There's still good stuff to be had, but any unusual, high-demand blades simply won't make it to the range. I spoke with someone who confirmed that maybe 5 years ago, that wasn't the case -- back in Fall 2007, I bought Scrap Yard Rat Traps at the range, but that wouldn't happen today. If you plan to come to Knob Creek and there's any way you can swing it, then it's well worth coming early for the Thursday night sale. Also, I don't know when the line begins forming, but I got there 3 hours before the preview and was 9th.

Wow!! I could spend all day staring at those pics.

Thanks for the sweet pics.

Just Awsome Jim, thanks for sharing. I own one of those knives

Hey Man, Nice Shots!

Very cool, Jim! Thank you for the effort to get these pix for posting before all that sweet Bussekin disappeared into the hands of the Dogs, Rats 'n' Hogs...never to be seen all together again!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm not tanto fan but those RMD tanto's are the bomb! Next year I'll be living in Texas and a whole lot closer to KC so maybe I can make it.

Still waiting to hear if I scored either or both of my requests.... will need to sell at least one kidney to cover the costs if so....but it will be worth it..!!

Great pics....thanks..!!

Andy, I know he got at least one of your request.

I don't think any off those sold, maybe one?

Thanks a lot for those pics...
Must be hard to restrain yourself there!

Are there any limitations to how many knives one individual can buy?

Buy as many as you like. I know one total was over $20,000

Thanks for sharing and posting pics of all those sharp goodies! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Would be sweet to get the chance to at least fondle a few of those knives.

EDIT: trying NOT to drool all over my key board..

Jim, luck, THANK YOU for the pictures. Man that is a bunch of steel! The probably had to get an 18 wheeler just to haul all that Ohio goodness!

I hope it was a rental though. They won't need that much hauling capacity on the way back!

Thanks for the pics guys! Would be great to be there!

very cool pics. I wish I could have made it down again this year but with people spending 20k plus I'm not sure it would have done me any good lol

thanks for sharing!

Great photos, guys.

Thanks!

Holymoly, 20000$ is just a notch over my monthly knivebudget!

I wonder how much it amounts to, when it is flipped on the exchange!?

I spoke with a couple others who rang up more than $6K, and saw a few more that had around that, but who I didn't ask. Money's one of those things that it's sometimes tough to work into the conversation. My haul was just over $1.8K after tax, and I was middling -- I saw a couple folks with just a knife or two, and one frequent attendee told me that he didn't buy a thing. There are some serious players who come to the Thursday night pre-sale, but there are also some more modest folk, so don't think that you have to take out a second mortgage to attend.

Honestly, I didn't think that I'd buy nearly as much as I did during the preview. When we lined up outside for the "rush" back into the room, I remarked that I had my eye on two knives, but wouldn't be upset if I didn't spend a cent. Then, while snatching possibilities to evaluate in a corner, five rats that weren't on my list found their way into my basket (I kept 3 of them) and the 911 mods were so popular that I grabbed a couple more than I intended to as investments.

I'm going to wander off topic for a moment -- I hear the word "decimate" used when people actually mean "annihilate". I've heard it on television reports recently and again in last night's debate -- decimation was a Roman legion-level punishment where 1 in 10 would be executed -- it means a 10% loss.
After the initial ruch, the tables were much closer to annihilated. Later, as people returned knives from their hoards, it appeared that perhaps half of the knives came back, but that's a lot to be gone in a matter of minutes.

Lots of great blades! I really like the pumpkin scaled r4

I just made biscuits for breakfast and need to take Zuki in for his annual checkup this afternoon -- I'm still thinking on whether to stay with Sentinel or go back to Interceptor for him. However, I'll post pictures of my haul later this afternoon.

You get a Satin Jack Tac Jim? Those are great looking knives and the price is nice. Those camo/modded 911's are sweet too.

Thanks again Jim and Luck

I agree with RN those Jack Tacs were looking pretty sweet!
I hope I have some decent cash in hand if there's a Ganza

Also those Rucki's got some crazy blades on em! What is that orange handled/arctic white thing? I like the Tanto but to be honest the agressive point from the ones in the shop is fine with me.

MM

I wany to see a good pic of those 911s

Those artic white ones were regular ruckis in that config. I think you can still order that way. The tanto rucks were left on the table, only one was bought that I know off.

Pics of 911. Best deal of the show. Never mind the toes.

Thanks! They sure look nice. The 911s not the toes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You're right, but I already have several "Embrace The Suck" SJTACs, so I passed. They sold well, although I think that a few may have been left over. With the 911 mods, one fellow bought the entire box from under the table.

We will see those at a stupid price on the exchange

Seriously jealous ! Wish we had shows like that over here in the west coast. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Somebody had a proxy that scored! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


Maybe..my gut says it was someone who was tossed from BF...

Yes... I asked for two specifics and if I get one or both I will be happy.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Pretty sure someone got at least something.

I didnt get anything...

Why no west coast love? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Plenty of buyers out here. The knife expo last weekend had alot of people.

Saw and handled many beautiful knives but none gave me the feeling of a Bussekin.

My brother was there at the Plaza Cutlery Custom Knife Show I was working the Ontario gun show.

How the heck do you get banned from blade forums???

I would love it if someone would come along and explain the liu kang controversy. Even a link to the thread would be appreciated.

I don't think there is a single link that would really be able to explain the LK thing fully. However, if you are a paying member at BF, there is a thread you will be able to find called something like "**ck Liu Kang!" that probably best explains it. Sorry, but rules do not allow linking to that particular area of BF, so you'll have to go search it out for yourselves. You will <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> after reading through it. He's lowlife scum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> There are good reasons that people don't like him and that he finally got banned there.

ETA: So I had the thread title off ever so slightly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> However, I just posted the above quoted text in the thread, so it shouldn't be very hard to find at all...

ETA2: Just fyi, in case you couldn't already tell, that thread is full of coarse language and some graphic images. Fair warning.

Interesting.

That is correct Brother Andy. I got you a camo 911!! I was 12th or so in line and did not even see the other request at the feeding. Kidney saved!!!

I retyped this about 10 times because I don't know how to get out what I want to say. I only know maybe half of the story but I think it is kind of beneath us to keep bringing LK up in forums every time we think he might have done something. Brothers of Busse whom I respect have had disagreements with him and continue to do so to some degree at shows. It pains me to see that we can't all get along. I talked with him standing in line at Knob and while his personality and "Hog trickery" is different than mine, he has never done anything to me persoanlly and I can have a laughing conversation with him about knives. I personally witnessed him ask another customer what he was looking for when that customer said he was unable to score anything he had wanted. I firmly believe he would have taken it out of his boxes and allowed the man to buy it himself if it was the one knife he had wanted. He rarely likes Res C so in reguards to the Dogs he rarely buys up all the $80 knives. I am not standing up for him per se as I don't know him that well or most of the people on this forum (even those I proxied for) for that matter. I even had a hopefully good natured political argument with a fellow Dog who has a drastically different political view than what I would have expected. We still love Bussekin and we still will see each other at Knob and visit.

Lets not spread the discontent and get back to likin' knives and the friendships we have. Hopefully this will be received in the attitude it was intended.

Well said. Can we see some pics of your haul?

Started a new thread with them

Thanks for the thread the knives and for being a great dog!

Jerry, I am jealous Brother!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />.......... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Very well said Sir! I have done some research on the matter now. Think the door can be shut and anyone curious can search and make up their own mind. Two sides to every story for sure. Thanks for sharing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

..... as I said to you in e-mail mate, my card (and kidney) are probably thankful (given the 1311 and 411 (multiples of each)RECKONING is due very soon.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ). I do appreciate the help mate.... probably lucky (for my wallet) I didn't see the other show special MO blade as I would have HAD to have had one of them as well... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Those 911s are sweet looking blades, I have been figuring what will get strapped to the rack on the "Zombie Express" and I have been leaning to my Tan user DF but that 911 may well be it... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That thread is over 100 pages The guy has issues.

Man I wish I had have been there. Some wicked looking blades in that lot.

Thanks Jim. Really appreciate your efforts taking and posting these wonderful pics.

Those 9-11's sure look sweet; I would have gotten one if I had been there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Those military overrun 911's are too cool!

Ooh those woody pork shanks are sweet!
