I've not yet been to a show attended by Busse but from what little I recall: Jerry and crew bring Busse Combat to BLADE in Atlanta and to the shoots/shows at Knob Creek, KY; IdahoSkunk and friends bring Busse to Blade West somewhere in the PAC-NW,(Seattle?); thatmguy takes Busse to several shows in Ohio and that is it as far as regular appearances by BC or with BC blades at shows. The recent BC Traveling Trunk Show in Easton, PA was a rare (first and so far only?) exception. Those more knowledgeable on the subject will undoubtedly chime in with more info/corrections.
As far as dealers go, info from the "BadMojo" site leads me to believe that some fellow named Andre used to be a distributor but now there is the IdahoSkunk at the Busse Combat Company Store. He stocks what I think of as production over-runs and, on occasion, blades made specifically for release through the Company Store. Unlike Busse Combat, where you place an order for the latest model and wait for its production and shipping, the Company Store has whatever is currently available in stock and ships quite quickly.
The attractions of attending a show where Busse Combat is present would be that you can: meet and maybe party with not only fellow enthusiasts but possibly Jerry, Amy-0, Garth and other ofeeshul BC folk; buy Custom shop and production models that are either unavailable elsewhere or are out of production and only available on the secondary market and usually at a substantial markup.
Infodump complete, for now.
