Seems to me that if we're going to give over $40,000.00 worth of INFI blades to Special Forces, we ought to be able to come up with a way to pass some free steel onto one of our nuclear forumites. Think of a cool contest that would tie into the dog tag offer and we'll do it. . . well, don't sit there. . . come up with somethin'!!!! :)

Here's my suggestion:

I get a free knife :) and then everyone submits a name for it. The one I like the best will be the winner!

-or-

I get a free knife :) and then I pick a number out of a hat and whoever has that dog tag number is the winner!

-or-

I get a free knife :) and then everyone sends me a dollar bill and I pick a winner by choosing a number between 00 and 99 with the last two digits of the contestants dollar bill being the winner!

-or-

I get a free knife :) and then everyone gets to guess what the first thing I cut with it was. The correct guess is the winner!
 
Ideas, lets see:
1) Best picture of a Busse Knife or knives(ie. best setting, while in use, most creative display, you get the idea)

2) The old hidden Busse-except this is a picture of a Busse its just that it is hidden. Somewhere there is a Busse Knife in this picture, where is it?

3) We all know how Jerry likes to see the knives used, so most destructive thing you have done or are doing with your most expensive Busse. Kind of like driving one of those brand-spanking new customs through a cement block

BTW, are moderators eligible? There has to be some perk with this job ;):D:D
 
I still think that a Busse leather jacket would be a great prize.

Contest...how about the closest date to when we catch ******* Bin Laden. The winner should also get a shot at running a Steel Heart through his black heart in front of the Taliban cowardous leaders.

Hey Tony..

I like the way you think...

The only problem is,,the prick will never be captured..When they see the Spec Ops coming his buddies will be fitting him with a custom tailored C4 vest....

Should be,,the day the bomb gets dropped down his Rat Hole wins...

Great Idea;
How about sticking with the day we waist that rat as far as picking the winner,& Jerry making a special one of a kind knife to give away something like the zero tolerance terrorist slayer(lazer etched & completly differant)?By the way I will through in a custom sheath to the winner since Eric got the honors last time:D
 
A pint with friends in peace and free speach is what we fight for so I thought of a competition that we can use to get ones friends to pay for the next round (I know that an inf steel crow bar is needed to get some people to open their wallets):

Competition: Best Bar Trick to get oneself a free drink. Matchstick tricks, card tricks, egg tricks, "bet you can't do this". Whatever it takes.
Rules: trick props must be readily available at the bar. The victim must feel he has been beaten soundly, not just cheated.
High scores: simple props, least skill required, funny or what, clever: where you get a drink not your head knocked off, low cost.

Best five, we can vote on.

What do you think? Cheers.
 
How about a drawing where a forumnite does a little research. Here's the idea:

To enter the contestant selects a US military Medal of Honor recipient. The entry must contain a brief discription; or even part or entire award citation. The date of action must be included.

The date of action is the entry number for a drawing. Tie-breakers could be date of birth or any other unique number. There may have to be a limit on the number of entries per contestant. Also, once a MOH is cited, and thus, sponsored, he cannot be doubled-enter. He, in effect is dog-tagged to that contestant.

While it's nothing more than a simple drawing, It would make for one Hella interesting thread to read. There are several good books on the subject, with a few hundred possible enties.

Well that's my idea.

OK, Im a pretty marketing oriented type so to me this means a contest for promotional ideas.
In this regard how about a list of users top ten extreme uses for Busses?
Have categories somehat open so humorous to factual responses are encouraged.
Being knife nuts most of us will come up with some pretty sentimental uses which will strike a chord with the target market.
ie;
1. Drool inducer when encountering cottonmouth or extremely harsh dry environments.
2. Leveraging tank tread on A-1 Abrams
3. Used as benchmark for other knives, if can't hack them in half with the Busse they pass.
etc.
Such a list would be good for laughs, may be quite inciteful and winning lists could be used in a one page ad.
Make mine a BM or a satin Jack!
Sincerely,
Chandler
