Anyone know if there are any pics or vids from the Busse factory? I work with manufacturing myself and just love to watch cnc-machines spinning and products coming alive. Do they have a shop or a display room at their place, I would love to see a couple of one off knife designs etc...
 
It would be cool if they had some video's on their site, but they don't.

Personally, I'd like to see some cool testing videos... maybe Garth doing some magic on the grinder, etc... Jerry drinking... That would be cool.
 
A few photos have shown up in various threads throughout the years, the most common (I think) being the big wall-o-knives where completed ones are (I guess) staged before Blade and Knob Creek, and then a few that show (I think) the CNC machines and some carts - with the crew goofing around. But, that's all I recall. Generally it's very hush-hush.
 
I'm afraid this is about as close as you'll get. ;)

Nope. There was the Ron & Amy revelry pix a few months ago. Don't bother showing up for a tour - they don't give them.

I'm pretty sure Jerry just ships everything from China in the first place (would explain the copies) and Garth, Ron, etc., are just homeless drunks that he hires for pix and various events. Drying them out enough to cart Amy around is trouble enough.

At least, that's my latest theory.
 
Its not the TOP SECRET compound, but Jeremy Horton posts quite a few videos of his shop. You can find some showing what you are looking for over in his forum.

and how does this have anything to do with Busse Combat? Jeremy Horton is in no way associated with Busse combat, nor has he ever been.

Really confused by your statement....
 
Taking pictures of the Busse factory is like taking pictures of Area 51.


You might get shot. Just remember that what the Busse factory does is in your best interest. ;)
 
There's been a few posts by the Busse Crew showing some funny pictures.
Looked to be a very clean, well organized shop.
 
As long as they keep making awesome knives I don't need to see inside. :thumbup:
 
I've seen pictures, they are mostly pictures of someone, or Jerry sneaking up with a camera, drunk on some unsuspecting employee to take their picture while she is getting a knife of the wall o' knives to introduce her here, but there are stuff in the background.

You are confused because I chose my words poorly. I did not mean to imply that Horton works for Busse; only that he takes video of his knife making processes, which is what the OP said he likes to see.

My intentions were good and I fail to see how they can hurt Busse Combat in any way.

Did not hurt us at all however your statement was very confusing and I have many e-mails this morning about it.

:):)
 
I'm happy to oblige. Here's how they make the knives over at the Busse shop.

First, Jerry, who only sleeps about 2 hours per night, rolls out of bed and heads to the mini-bar.

After refreshing himself with a shot of Johnny Walker Blue, Jerry calls this guy, who has his finger on the pulse of the Busse community.

Then, Jerry checks on his production team, aka "The Flaming Flamingos," to see what's on the docket for the day.

Invariably, the first order of business is the traditional Catching of the Chickens. It's sort of like the Running of the Bulls, only with less horns and more feathers.

After the chickens are all hemmed up, folks settle down to the business of making knives.

Sometimes, however, the pressures of knife making get so strenuous that Jerry has to turn to his crack team of advisors. Here they are, between rounds, meditating on what needs to happen the rest of the day.

Finally!!! A knife is born.

Happy days! Now you know how Busse knives are made.

Left out of the discussion above, of course, is the extensive R&D team that not only provides input for new models but also tests prototypes and existing models. This is a very diverse group of folks who come from all walks of life. Since you never really know just when you're going to need a Busse knife, Jerry is wise to consult people with such a wide range of life experiences. In the past, he has used...
