My tenth. I went there looking for two specific non-Busse items and had both in hand within the first two hours Friday - an Arno Bernard Rhino skinner with Nile Crocodile handle (I have one knife weakness other than Busses, that being skinners) and a LionSteel M2.
I went with a specific budget in mind, and almost met it. Came away with only three Busses, but they were exactly the ones I really wanted - a Tigerhide/Satin Team Gemini, a Black Canvas handled INFI Ratmandu (specifically wanted black canvas because it is going to be a user) and an Orange/Black Elmax Game Warden. Only way it could have been better would have been if the Elmax Warden had been available in Black Canvas, as it is going to be a user, too.
I caught none of these cards. Caught a lot of others but gave them away. Many thanks to Trevor and Dan for graciously trading with me to allow me to come away with what I really wanted. I have had no dealings with Dan in the past but after the induction dinner he told me to tell the Busse people to move from his box to mine anything he had I wanted. I traded a black and tan G10 INFI Ratmandu for the Black Canvas one.
The trough was the roughest this year that I have ever seen it, and I got a block in the back (unintentional) of my lower legs from Trevor that would have done an NFL lineman proud. Almost took me down. He got a bloody knee on the same play.
Thanks to all the Busse people and the Hogs for your continuing kindness to Kimberly. She had a ball.
