Question about the custom shop

kfgk14 · Feb 27, 2011

Can they make any past Busse production blade?
I.e. if I wanted, say, a Busse Killa Zilla II, could the custom shop make me one? Or am I just going to have to go secondary market for it? Also, how do I go about ordering from the custom shop? Do I just email Jerry or Amy?
Sorry if there is a sticky or info page about this somewhere and I missed it.

From Amy when I asked the same question..

Email Garth.

As far as past blade designs..I tried to request a Force One style of blade a few months ago and never heard back from Garth,so I'm guessing they don't do past production blades.

I am curious as to what kind of customs you can order,so maybe someone with more knowledge about this will chime in.

Liu,

...any idea what should be expected re: cost for custom work???

Thanks!:thumbup:

Everything depends on a lot of factors. They may not be able to make the knife to begin with, then it varies what you want done... I would suggest you email Garth and see what he says.

I'm not Dan. However, the historical quote has always been $100/inch.

If it's completely custom, yes I have heard that. That's also not just the blade length either

Hope that isn't the going rate on a custom of a past production blade...I don't exactly have $1800 lying around

Sorta makes the secondary market seem reasonable, don't it?

Mulder - you mean they don't have guys just sitting around the shop to whip up these custom blades? LOL

I'll take a 1 inch custom.

kfgk14 · Feb 28, 2011

Jack has the ight idea-get all your INFI in 3/8" thick 1" long straight razors!

I'm going to buy 3 and put them together and have the Busse Mach 3. Oh ya.

:d lmao :d

Edit: I have also heard/read $100 per inch...

Ninja, I believe there have been posts from Jerry alluding to this, but generally only in the case of full customs (swords and such)

email Garth, it all depends on what blanks, if any, that he has available.

Thanks...good info--as I have been wondering about this myself.

kfgk14 · Mar 2, 2011

Hmmm...Guess I gotta scrounge the cash up quick before all the blanks of the blade I want are gone, if any exist...

wolfdad · Mar 2, 2011

You can make a list of models you want or------ save time and effort by just asking Garth to give you a list of the blanks that he has available and you can pick from those. He sent me a list about a month ago which included NMFBM,Gladius, NMSFNO, Anorexic BS, and a couple of others. I'm sure this changes, often.
