Record Breaking BLADE Show!!!!! . . . . .
In spite of our best efforts, and the fact that we brought over 300 more knives than last year, the trough was totally decimated!!!!
We were completely SOLD OUT after the 10:00 AM Saturday morning offer. Had we not held blades back for the Saturday morning offering, we would have been completely sold out on Friday!!!. . . .
So, what changed. . . what was the difference?
Well, the ONLY thing that changed on our end was the Busse BLADE Show Command! ! ! . . . .
With Amy gone and myself not being able to attend at the last minute . . . . Garth and Lexi took charge!!!
They took the reins and with the the Busse Knife Group Booth Crew in high gear, they knocked one out of the park!!

I'll admit that I was a bit nervous about Lexi not having years of experience with the show, but from the reports that I have been receiving from our customers, she, Pokey, and Laura did a phenomenal job of getting everyone squared away!!!
Tons of compliments about the entire Busse crew and the much more relaxed atmosphere have led me to believe that I should have stayed home years ago and drank from afar!!!!! :thumbup:
So, here's a gigantic THANKS to all who made up the Busse Knife Group Booth Crew!!!!! . . . AND an even bigger thanks to all who make up our incredible family of customers. . . . The genuine camaraderie is unparalleled.
Next year we're going to bring a ton more . . . and I'm going to sit at the bar and do what I do best!!!
Let's Drink!! :thumbup:
