Blade Show 2010 Pics....coming soon

The show opened at noon. But Busse unveils new models in stages over Friday and Saturday, so we won't have seen everything until end of day tomorrow.
 
a pic of two of 'em is up now, I just posted it in the Gladius thread. No mention of $ yet.

those are the near polished satin finished custom shop versions though, consider the price difference between the custom ak47's and the cg's, the cg's were (almost) half the price.
for the ak47's-
cg: 587
custom satin with g10: 997
custom satin with fancy handles: 1097

lol. with the 58% reduction applied to the gladius, 1,897 would become 1,117. still not cheap, but better.

Yep. The ganzaa price will be a little higher too. Basic 11 only $257!
 
I cant read the price tags on the posted pics for the Gladius...can anyone confirm the 1897$ :(
 
That's what I read as Regular price. Show price appears to be $1797, but that I can't confirm.
 
Well it official....I am not getting one. Thats sucks. Think about this. Would you make more if you sold them at 800 (like a TTKZ) or 1800 like a MOAB. Logically if you want to make more money you should sell to the masses vs the elite (crazy):rolleyes::D:D

HINT HINT JERRY;)

depends on how hard they are to make. a long double edged gladius may be harder to make than a moab. the moab probably has more metal removal, but the gladius may have more machine time or parts handleing with the additional angles involved. the handles are also not a standard shape, they may require more machine time than either the moab or the ak47.

I'm still waiting to see the darn kz2 pricing :grumpy:

The Custom Shop Pieces are the elite of the mass blades, they should draw a premium. Remember all the CS Pieces are hand ground. The last "Nuclear" blade I scored, Garth told me he had in excess of 12 hrs in grinding just the top edge. Just sayin':thumbup:
