Hi ya'll,

Been drinking and was wondering about actually picture's of busse blade's from this year's blade show. I understand where most of these pic's wind up in the first day or so of the show. I am not knocking that at all. Business is business.

So here ar a few you don't see to often. Please add as you see fit. These were somewhat avaible at blade somewhere along the line.:cool:

Haha I only have my lonely FSH but had a NMFSH by far my favorite busse handle. I'm lucky more o2w blades did not come with it or I'd be in trouble!!

Not a great picture but:

Nice pic, the fusion steal heart was a really nice wood's carry blade.
 
5am come's early. please post your pic's of blade's that may, or may not have come from blade.
 
Ogre...you're photos are starting to rival Lunde's...:eek::thumbup:
 
From what I can tell just about all the knives this year were snatched up by re sellers looking to make a quick profit in the first few minutes/hours, so pics probably aren't that likely.


To be honest I find it a pretty disgusting practice, wish Busse would put a stop to people doing it.

Unfortunately, that is true. Lui Kang was there with a few of his people and they each swarmed the table, spread their arms out, and literally gathered up a very large pile of knives, not caring about banging the satin blades into each other during the process. It really bothered me.
 
Not a fan of little wang at all.

So did anybody else happen to get some decent pic's? Any chop house variant's?

That's pretty much bullshit. What about the dude who's bringing his kid, or who scratched and saved for a bunch of years to go and out come these clowns? Wtf.


And I don't mean the blade. W.T.F.
 
I totally agree with Zmbhntr and Timmy, however in America now days Money is King, would like to see some sort of limit put on the number of knives a person could purchase!!!

That's really disgusting behavior. Honestly though, who's to blame?? He is known far and wide. I don't care what he is selling, stop buying his knives. When he can't make his money see how fast he goes away. People like him exist because people allow him to prosper. What incentive does he have to stop?? I don't consider someone with his ethics a legitimate dealer. Put him out of business, that's how it stops.

In the end Busse is to blame (yes I know that's sacrilege around these parts but it is the truth), their business model allows blades to be bought and then resold for massive profit and they haven't put any restrictions in place to prevent people reselling.

You can't blame profiteers (well you can but it would be pointless), if not Lui Kang some other scumbag will fill his shoes, in the buy/sell a guy called dericdesmond has put 60+ knives from blade up for sale, so it's not just one person.

And you can't blame the people buying them, all Busse's are limited run items. So supply is low and demand is high, if you want one you really have to just get it where you can.

In the end I think it's up to Busse to look after their customers and not let these people get away with it, put a restriction on purchases per person at blade and have the known re sellers banned from the forums so they can't peddle their wares as easily.
