Title says it all. What were you able to snag at the Knob Creek show?

I got a couple of pieces I'll be posting pics of later. But I was there and didn't see have of the stuff that sold so let's show it off now.

I haven't heard from Proxy, maybe he got lost on the way home.............................................:eek:

:confused:
 
I'll have to wait to show them off...you know the rules..pics or it didn't happen;)

I can say I'm very happy overall! :D:thumbup:
 
Most of my score was a pair of Desert Warfare Sets, shown along with my satin Gladius from Blade:

Next, the "black blades":

And the others in my haul:

I ended up calling Amy at the shop and asking about a price adjustment on the Swamp Rat EH3 Mojo -- I wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't wanted it enough to pay what I did, but I really do think it was mis-marked. As you can see in the picture above, the tag wasn't one of their normal round ones; I suspect the original one fell off and another was made up on the fly with a guess at the price. Still, it was surprising to see a 2007 military overrun make an appearance at the Fall 2010 show. Here's a close-up of the marking "EH3" and what appears to be a gavel -- it could be a snow shovel, but I'm going with gavel. Eric still won't say anything about the unit they were made for, and I haven't been able to find anything online:

I'm with you...IMHO it's a gavel, or a hammer or a mallet!! maybe that mil unit "drops the hammer" on their enemies....or they bring justice to the lawless??
i like my first wild uneducated assumption better than my second lol :D:thumbup:

good grabs on those sets..love the orange/blk handles on the DSF!:thumbup:

The Desert Warfare Sets, Desert Storm Fighters, and those cool Jack Hammers were all show specials.

You got some great pieces as usual.

IIRC the prices on the EH3 were a "special" show price at the 2007 Knob Creek. I'm pretty sure the original mini-mojo prices were $198.95, they probably just marked it at the regular price, not remembering that they did a show special on them in 2007. Great grab on that piece btw. (this is all from memory and that doesn't always serve me well, so a little online investigation may prove me wrong)

What is that? :confused:


That's about the most unique grind and profile Busse I think I have ever seen.

Truely a one of a kind. :thumbup:

It is the Nuclear Seahorse and it wasn't at the show, it was discussed though ;)


Here are pics of a few pieces I've picked up in the last 6 months. Was on a little bit of a BWM variant theme.

This is what my proxie nabbed:




I've been looking for a set of 1911 grips for a while, and it so happened, Busse brought a pair of tequila sunrise grips to the creek! :eek:

The lighting does suck, but they are a dark sunrise, they're not amazing custom shop pieces, but they will be used :D
 
Eric, is that top BWM variant the first one (#1) of 14, or simply one of the 14? Sweet blades, esp the no choil bwm
 
Eric, you already have the wrapping paper out, just wrap and send the bottom 2 knives to me. Do you want my address? lol
