Jerry Busse or @dbusse will we eventually get to hear how many of these were made? It'd be kind of cool to know for historical and collectability reasons.

Nope. Only when they say 1 of 150 or whatever it is.

 

[jd4320t]

I can’t wait to compare this to the 1311. So far it’s the champ.

 

[Truthancisco]

Anyone get a ping today or is the pinging over?

Sounding like it might be over. Haven't heard anything. I still believe no news is good news.

Unfortunately I’m thinking you are right. I thought I was pretty quick too both emails out within 30 seconds

 

[hydeinmind]

Dinged and paid yesterday!

Is there's a specific reason you think for wanting to NOT release that info despite us inquiring?

Everyone seems to love the 1311, I may have to seek one out, but I imagine this would scratch that itch well for me as it's only 1 inch shorter and has thicker and heavier stock so it should hit harder, and with that nice full flat grind, will probably have great penetration as well I'd think.

Given Jerry's post from Monday, I'm pretty sure you're right, it's over by now.

It's all based on the order in which we receive them.

I will say this, we had way more orders than we had blades. We are still sorting them out and everyone should be notified by tomorrow.

In the meantime. . . .

Let's Drink!

It’s as simple as they don’t tell us, never have.

The 1311 is one of the best choppers to ever come out of the Busse world. It’s thinner stock, and ground pretty thin too. Hits hard and bites deep. Ounce for ounce and dollar for dollar the best deal they’ve ever released.

 

[Boss1911]

Becky emailed me yesterday for 1, paid and waiting. I'm guessing it's over.

 

[Boss1911]

Man this thing is one sexy big blade coming in under 1lb-4oz!

One of my favorite users BB13 Infi

The BB13 Infi is my go to blade. I'm excited to try the regulator handle.

 

[TENTEX]

Should have never sold my BG BB13 in SR101. It was a bit faster in the hand compared to the CG BB13. Might have to pick one up. The green one got scooped up pretty quick off the exchange the other day. Need to hold off for a muddy brown version.

Fair enough. Oh well, I'm not complaining, just curious.

The question is, should I be looking for one of these or a BB13? I prefer the aesthetics of the BB13, so if it's just as thin, it may be even a better performer.

 

[Truthancisco]

You guys must have done insanely fast emails or there were literally only a few of these. I checked my timestamp. Well done to the lucky ones!

It probably didn't help that I ordered 187 of these either....

Bah! That stinks!

Good thing I got lucky and my order for 187 of these was successful. I *might* be able to help you out............. *might*........... but probably not

I had the BB13 in infi and Battle Grade and preferred the 1311. SpyderPhreak nailed it with his description.

I’m looking forward to this new one. I’ll give it a good workout and see where she rates.

Thank you and SpyderPhreak for that firsthand information from your experiences. I'll take that any day over my speculation!

I'm really looking forward to hearing and hopefully seeing a number of you guys test this out and report back with some pics and results

I'll be comparing it to the AFBM and recent FBC and sharing some pics and videos of the findings carnage.
