SHOT SHOW 2017-- Where is BUSSE

[wuyeah]

Hello All,

I remember every year during SHOT SHOW, Busse will have number of ganzaaaa, member will share images of them in SHOT SHOW. After 5 pgs of checking, it is awfully quiet about it. Any images from you y'all, new blades from Busse?

Busse is missing from Blade magazine as well.

 

[Bunkmeister]

Yeah a friend of mine went to shot show and I told him to make sure he texted me any offerings if they showed up.

Did they used to go to ShotShow?

 

[Lycosa]

DRUNK!!!! That's where!

 

[mainaman]

I thought they only do Blade and Knob creek , could be wrong though.

 

[Ianski]

I'm at shot and I do not believe Busse Combat attends.

 

[GregB]

I've never heard of them doing SHOT and they haven't done KC in a while. They're in Ohio, where they should be, getting my B13 CG in the mail

I can't recall them attending SHOT, given Busse's sales model it would make no sense for them to do so, SHOT is a TRADE show where manufacturers/importers go to display their wares to dealers/retailers/Government and generate orders. Given Busse does not use dealers, they sell direct to the public, there would be little point in going to a trade show to generate dealer interest....maybe a little for Govt sales but that seems self generating for them. Blade is a different story of course.

.... pretty sure what you are describing is "Blade" in Atlanta not "SHOT" in Vegas mate.

Busse was in Vegas many years ago, circa 2000?, but IIRC (before my time) it was for a Blade West Show. That's where the proto Folder debuted.

We haven't set up at SHOT for many years. It's only for selling to dealers and we do not have a formal dealer program.

I do love going to SHOT however!:thumbup:

It is unbelievable!:thumbup:

Let's drink!

Vegas was the site of the Great Busse Treasure Hunt, but I think it was for Blade West rather than Shot.

Still got my grand prize team knife, and team captain Mrs. Skunk did indeed receive a Busse folder prototype. She earned it.

I honestly do not remember probably a Skeleton Key, I was into those way back then.
