EDIT: Since people are really taking their sweet time with the CS WTF videos, as of 7:23 pm EST on 8/29/16 there are BG WTF options for winning the challenge! Details below.

The Busse Custom Shop WTF dings are ringing through many of our credit cards at this moment, and there is plenty of excitement about who will receive theirs first. To me the better question is: Who will use theirs first?

In the spirit of the question, I have decided to create a little challenge where I will have two giveaways. The prize for each challenge will be a t-shirt or a baseball cap from the Busse website (winner's choice).


Challenge #1: Film yourself (or have somebody else film you, which is not really an option for me since my wife thinks I'm nuts as it is and won't come near me when swinging a knife, and my 2 year old sucks as a camera man, but I digress) chopping through a 2x12 board. It must be a video, not a series of pics, and it must show the chopping from start to finish. The video must be posted in this thread. BG WTF challenge option: same as CS WTF. David Brown is the winner!

Challenge #2: Same rules as challenge #1, but chopping through a 9" or larger diameter log instead of a 2x12. BG WTF challenge option: 11" diameter log instead of a 9" log. The video must be posted in this thread.

The first person to complete each or the above challenges will get to pick a t-shirt OR baseball hat from the Busse website on my dime. The same person cannot win both challenges, and likewise the same WTF cannot win both challenges. In other words, you cannot use your WTF to complete challenge #1 and then give it to a friend and have them complete challenge #2. The winner must have been a BF member for at least 6 months, and have at least 25 posts to be considered.

Challenge #3 Courtesy of rcb2000 - Guess the weight of the WTF LE, and rcb2000 will buy the below mug from the company store for the person with the closest guess. Obviously there will be different weights based on handle materials, so it will be the weight of Zmbhntr’s with Bruiser G10, grams or lbs/oz. One guess per person, and the cut off will be the day after the first shipping notice hits the forum. Good luck Hogs and Piggies!! WTF actual weight 2 lbs 11.2 oz - Winner Robdude

Disclaimer: Be safe out there! The WTF is a large blade and care should be used when wielding the beast that it is. I am not liable if you hurt yourself or others trying to film yourself as part of this challenge. This challenge is for the Busse Custom WTF with a satin finish; the Battle Grade version is an epic knife as well, but it is excluded from this challenge. I reserve the right to modify the rules as I see fit. I have talked to the forum mods, and this GAW is approved. This challenge is meant to be good natured and fun, so please have fun with it!

Out of curiosity, what handle materials have people been dinged for? I personally got the ding for a bruiser (blue/black) G10 WTF.
 
Tan & Black G10.
Technically i didnt get dinged, but I was going to today.
When i called yesterday to change my card info, Sheila looked on her desk, said my order got passed up to her, and was getting dinged today.
P.S.
Thanks for the Challenge Ben, Great Idea..... im not sure if Im up to the challenge lol cant wait to see some videos though.
 
This is beautiful!!! Sweet job Truffle! I'll try to get this done. Hopefully by then one of my kids can tell me HTF to post a video to this thread. Lol. Btw I got dinged for satin and blk/canv
 
Very cool; another example of what makes this a great community.

Let me know when you are ready to give away some bourbon. ;)

Have not got dinged-Paid her off some months ago-Black Canvas-Expect a shipping notice shortly, If I remember correctly seems like the Canvas models are usually shipped before the G10 Models, do not know if this will apply with the WTF or not. Mine will be fondled, and admired before destruction begins-You don't see this much satin Infi in one package very often-Cheers
 
U guys making me wish I went with Black Canvas....

Black micarta always tempts me as I agree with many that it is a slightly better for a heavy user blade..however, it's only a "tiny" difference. And when it came to the Custom Shop War Train.. I wanted G10 without question.. the knife is going to be a SUPERCLASSIC..no question about it, and it's looks are just so sexy..an with all that hand applied satin..the G10 was just a must imho..
 
black Micarta seems to always be the first but the first run of the war train seems to be bruiser. I got dinged for bruiser, zmbhntr the same, i think i saw another say that they got dinged for bruiser 2. The bruiser run of the custom shop seems first
 
Everybody has their preference's, I just want to see some one get a Shipping Notice! And Naturally I think I should be first! Cheers
 
Does BG count too? Just curious.
I may video my person chopping my house down? Just wanted to know if I do put my mall ninja skills on display, I might get a new T-Shirt to help conceal my big guns. Luckily, I am single, so my right arm is in good shape. The Busse T is worth that, right?
