Busse Gladius @ the 1500!!!

[tradertator]

Did anyone else see that Gladius @ the 1500? I haven't been able to sleep since! I contemplated jumping on his table, holding it straight in the air, and screamin "Tonight, we dine in Hell!" to the mob of people walking by. I didn't even look at the price, because I knew the Visa would have gone flying across the table

Are you talking about the double edged brass handle ( aka celtic ), the falcata, or the movie replica?

 

[tradertator]

It was one of these.

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont know alot about Knifes or had any intrest in collecting them ,,,but when i clicked on the link you had ,,,WELL I WANT ONE . Damn that is one sweeeeeeeeet weapon.

I fondled it extensively, I thought about buying it but I already have a Waki, (there was one right next to the Gladius on the table) which made it hard to justify. Had I not bought 4 knives off of the Busse table, I might have went home with that awesome combat grade Gladius.

That particular one was part of a desert war set, there are a few other knives that match it, with the desert sand blade finish and tan canvas micarta handles.

If you're going to buy one, Mike and Bob are the guys you want to talk to, they're the best Busse pitchmen going.... I always enjoy buying from them...... for the most part.....

Im not usually interested in knives, but that one was bad arse.

I fondled a nice inexpensive Busse yesterday. Was impressed at how affordable that knife was. Don't know what model, but it was roughly the same size as a RAT RC-4. I had it in my head that all of their stuff was way out of my price range.

Compared to some other knife makers that were there, $110 for a Busse seemed like a steal to me.

But no, I didn't buy it. Fondled some Benchmades at some other sellers, inquired about a Kershaw from Brad & Knife Lady.

No new knives for me...

I left some drool on their table. I didn't ask to see it, that always leads to problems for me!

 

[Clay]

So how much was it?

So how much was it?

I want to think mid 4's

 

[Clay]

I'll assume you mean 100s, and if so thats not bad.

 

[cubby]

yeah, they run mid 400s now, i believe.

 

[flatlander]

$483 if I recall for the Gladius.
The knife for $110ish was a SwampRat Howling Rat. I believe it sold on Sat.
Thanks to everybody who stopped by.

Nope, the CG Gladius was $627, I only remember because I was trying to "justify" it.....

 

[jbombelli]

I ignored the Busse table this trip. My money was earmarked for other things, and I know for sure I would have overextended myself if I stopped there.

 

[theweakerbrother]

Romans used the gladius... not the Greeks. Just sayin'.

Yes, I held it about 300 times. I want a Busse....!

same one who always does. let me guess you couldn't find the INGO table or raven either

They had their own booth..

 

[Clay]

they were in a different spot this time. "Left" room (as you enter), basically across the wall from INGO/Raven/TSG/ETC
