I just got back home, after taking my daughter to the dentist, and lo and behold, a package from "Busse" was waiting for me. Inside were two paper- and plastic-wrapped goody pods. I was thinking that only two of my Ganza knives were included, and that the other two would come later. Wrong. 1B and 7A were wrapped together, and the same for 5B and 7D.

The blade thickness of 1B and 7A seem to be 0.27 inches, as expected. The handles on 1B, though, are massively thick!

I was planning to spend most of the day continuing to write "CJKV Information Processing" Second Edition (I kick-started this last night, starting with Chapter 3, which is one of the two core chapters of the book), but taking some snapshots of these beauties clearly has higher priority.

I will have a quick lunch, get some much-needed alcohol into my system to get the creative juices flowing, then take some photos...

To tide you guys over for a couple hours, here are a couple of the Ganza photos, for 1B and 5B:

Oh, and from the wood grain, it is clear that my 1B is the same as the one in the Ganza photo.
 
Nice! I can't wait to get mine. Whenever that will be.
 
Im wondering if I get a package today, probaby not. From what I hear two of you guys cant wait till my ganzaa knives get here either. :)
 
Oooh oooh! I'm gettin one each of those too!!! And a 5D (Giraffebone). Gotta go check to see if my card got dinged yet.
 
Still waiting and checking the CC, but to tied me over, I received my user BATAC today! Sharp as any piece of steel has ever been! I believe I could filet a minnow with this thing. Thanks TL
 
Oh man 5B arrived today. Since you guys already posted pics of my knife I'll wait till tomorrow to put up some personal shots to show it is really mine. The blade is incredible. The handles are really thick and comfortable. For now this, my first steel heart, may be my favorite knife. Inspected by 13. Sharp and wicked. What a knife. I congratulate anyone lucky enough to own one of these incredible blades.
Made my day, week, and maybe made my year.
Cheers.
 
Here are my teaser shots, meaning one shot of each knife. I'll post the complete set of photos in another thread (or threads).

im diggin 5B...whats it called?
Anniversary SH1 (ASH1) with Satin 0.22-inch blade and G-Rex handles (Black G-10 with a Red/Black G-10 inlay). It feels very good in the hand, in terms of ergonomics and balance.
