Just got my Ganzaaaa invoice

cold one · Mar 2, 2015

Scored the two swatmandu I wanted.

It will be a 6-8 week wait though but hey, they might come the same time as the TGLB I ordered over 2 weeks ago.

Whichever one makes it here first will be my first Busse.:thumbup:

hooka... I'm asked him if he'd round the point off around the "Talon Hole" (a little more Hoggish shape since this is the first RMD with the "BUSSE" engraving...also provides a little more room for my larger fingers) and I also asked if he'd round over or put a little swedge on the "clip portion" of the blade like how the original Gen1 Ratmandu's came from the swamp. I didn't think about having liners installed until someone else mentioned it in their order, so I may have those added too (not sure yet).

Here's a quick paint mock-up of the changes I asked for...

Stump

Not bad, not bad at all! A knife always feels better when tweaked to our own individual desires....

I kinda liked how the talon hole looked a little different with the swampchoil (for lack of better words), but your mock-up looks super clean! That thing will be sweet with those little changes! Looking forward to the pics

surely I will get an email any minute...........maybe the next minute.........

Garth Reckner · Mar 2, 2015

Congrats to everyone who scored.

Just because you havent received an email yet doesnt mean you are out. It just means there are a ton of emails to send and the girls can only type so fast. Just be glad its them typing and not me. I could probably manage about 2 per hour.

One Basic 8 black handle, and one B.I.G NMFSH with black canvas handle. These will be my first Busse knives with blades longer than the Infidu. And yes, I am going to use them the way they are intended. I am going to cut stuff!!!!!!

LizaMari · Mar 2, 2015

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one still waiting. And waiting.....and waiting.

More bad Ganzaa Wait inspired poetry :barf: (sorry)

Pacing while awaiting a Ganzaa email
Like a caged tiger in the zoo
I've just gotta know if I scored
My Crusader and Swatmandu!

Oh, and thanks for the update, Garth!

SRWeldon · Mar 2, 2015

Got my email at 8:42 CST. Everything I requested was on the invoice (B8, Swatmandu, HackWarden). Thanks to the girls for working late tonight!

hookahhabib · Mar 2, 2015

Woohoo! I'm in!

Scored myself a SWATmandu with tan canvas and.....

MOABolo in urban camo w/ tan canvas!!!

It is easily the biggest, baddest (and priciest) chunk of delicious INFI (or knife for that matter) that I have ever scored! Jerry outdid himself with this beastly blade....so excited to feel the power!

BRING IT!!!!

Best Ganzaaa ever based on my time here :thumbup:

Sooooo.... You're not excited at all?

I requested no number if possible and got this:

(1) Basic 8 LE with Black Res C STERILE (6-8 weeks)

This should be interesting.

Nope, not excited in the least....as Zen as could be...perhaps even as a great man once said, "calm as a Hindu cow"

Shunsui- nice move on the Sterile B8!

How are you guys getting the timeframe for what you scored?

I scored the BIG NMFSH and the HACK.

There was no timeframe on the invoice.

Also this was the 1st time I paid Busse with PayPal, Anyone have any issues doing it that way? I added the invoice # and what I ordered to the notes section.

Thanks
Geoff

I guess that you've got to call in and ask for the timeframe. No issues with PayPal, might have some extra charges for it....

RLB · Mar 3, 2015

Just called "The Compound" and give Pokey my debit card info. B8 will be on the way to Southeast Missouri in 1-3 weeks! NOW I gotta break the news to the better half I need to talk to a man about some plastic.

The previous Ganza, my Infidu shipped very quickly after I sent payment, so they must have had them in stock already.
Could be this time they got some stock ready to ship and the rest is to be made depending on the demand? I have the feeling the folks at Busse are making sure all that wanted a B8, and sent an email, get one. For the other blades there probably is a quantity limit.

my guess is something like the hack is very limited due to their Elmax supply and the military overrun was probably finite... everything else, if there's stock and blanks are probably good to go.

...this assumption is mostly wishful thinking on my part since I haven't received word yet.

If you got a PP invoice, then you are probably looking at an ETA of 1 - 3 weeks, based upon other replies here. Standard Busse practice is to charge your CC about 10 days before they expect to ship. I just used PP for my first time, sure it will go just fine.
