I'm having a hard time discerning the real prices at the show. Don't know WHO to believe.
Perhaps that's a Busse request of attendees? Wish I could have gone.

I need to see hands holding this, or a tape measure next to it so I can get an idea of size. So far, this looks GREAT!
Roughing it from this image (assuming negligible error from perspective, and using average male hand breadth), I'd guess around 48.5cm (19") OAL and 29.9cm (11 3/4") blade.

15" - 16" Blade 23" - 25" OAL would be my guess

Jerry has some good sized mitts.

Hmmm, then I'd say about 23" OAL and 14" blade.
Edited to add: At most, I'd guess. Unless Jerry has some serious Zeus-sized paws

I have no idea what I would do with it, but I want one.
Practice cutting with it, and pray the day you need it never comes
1.7/1 ?

Looks roughly round there from the pic (I get 1.6/1 from where I start the blade).

I'm think there are NO reliable reports of pricing at the show.

I really don't understand you.
I'm not there. I did not buy one to flip. I have no vested interest in deceiving you; far from it, I am trying to disseminate the most accurate information as I hear it, for the benefit of the broader Busse Fan community. I have NEVER heard any Busse staff ask that false prices be promulgated.
So exactly what is your problem?

Not that it's any of my business, but do you really want to quote that smiley? I'd hate to see you get an infraction that rightfully belongs to someone else.

wishful thinking I'm sure, but if the Busse crew can keep the CG versions at $597, then I'm definitely going to own one!
