Welcome back Contender. Maybe you can tell us what ball-park prices these blades went for? More importantly, how do we Busse-addicts get access to such blades? Are they just snapped up by the first guy who sees a post after Jerry's fertile (and apparently frenetic) imagination has created another work of art in steel, OR, are these carefully thought out pieces coming from the Custom Shop on special order by secret and very wealthy Central and South American buyers? (I'm a Tampa boy too, just living out of state for awhile...).
As you can see by the posts, we're all reeling from the deluge of variants. It would be great to have a way to get one! I know, maybe I could just call, with a credit card number handy.... then I could describe what I'm interested in, and someone would carefully write it down... soon, dedicated craftspeople and metal working artisans would get to work designing and making my blade... within just a few weeks Jerry would call and say "John, it's ready, we're shipping it today after the Blade picture shoot,".... Maybe even....Naaaaaaaaahhhhhh! Back to reality.
