so according to my basic math.

My Viking sword order was

12291XXX


and the highest order number in the "first 72hr" giveaway was

12292XXX


That would mean in the first 72 hrs they had

641 orders !!!!!!

Wow

641 at $1300 a pop is shy of $1M in sales in 72 hours. Feels like the Feral Hogs who missed the trough on the original Gladius run now got their Grail Pieces.

My 2 Cents.

What was the lowest order number on the swords? Mine was lower than yours.

I looked at that same math…. Got to add up to around 500 swords - a lot more than I would have guessed, and I ordered one for each hand!

Really looks like a great design and a good price point!
 
now I am sure a few of those are t shirts and hats and other knives but still wow.

surprising part not as many sheath orders as I would have expected ?

I need more sheath orders so I can get a second one :)
 
Jeez...I ordered like 32 minutes in...and my order number ends in 69 (nice)... 1769...

I'm fairly sure this might be one of the most ordered models ever....

Tex, that 1300 is base, pretty sure a lot ordered upgraded versions...

Wow...just think...we aren't going to see these shipped untill like October considering the numbers...

People were expecting these to go for well over 2K, when the fully loaded version came out for well under that people jumped in, rightfully so. This sword is Busse hall of fame material.

It is truly an exciting time to be alive. Some of the best steels in history are available right now, with the most precise and efficient machining and heat treatments. We can get a lot of quality for the money.
 
Agreed… I was expecting base price to be more than it was…

SW MOAB: $2197
SW Boar Lord: $1697
SW LS: $1347

Well, it kind of makes sense, I think besides blade length there is also blade thickness. The Snake is .210 while moab is whopping .34.

I don't know the height of moab...but if it's around 2 inches like the snake than moab has about 20% more infi.

The thinner snake actually makes sense for the sword...if it was tapered we can only assume it would be cheaper...maybe an idea for LS XXL 30 inch blade varient to make it cost less than moab.
 
Didn't Amy-0 once ask us not to post order numbers for some security reason?

I guess I'm going to have to test Busse security by calling the shop and telling them I'm David Brown and need to chance the shipping address on order no. XXXXXXX

But, then they go ahead and post order numbers of the seax winners....so I'm guessing they figured out their security situation.
