Off Topic A game while we wait - 2021 Black Friday Grab Bag guessing game (The wait is over. Enjoy the photos!)

Hard to describe without pics, but I'll just throw this out there too... the Forsaken Gemini is only .5 inch longer than the other Gemini's (TGLB,TGULB, TG, etc) but there is something very different feeling about it in my hands and I'm not sure why. I really like it a lot and the CBT just takes it a notch more wicked cool in my book.
 
1) Custom Shop (CS) Elmax Some call it a mini cleaver
2) CS Elmax Clip Point slicer ?
3) Swamp Rat Mega Ratmandu
4) CS Elmax spear point slicer ?
5) SYKCO WS? WS-1020
6) SR Mega Swamp Warden
7) SYKCO DB-421
8) Regulator? INFI Looks like an Alpha Regulator and those were INFI, (best Regulator in my opinion)
9) CS Trough Raider
10) HR2
11) CS Forsaken Steel Heart
12) P&L Statement
13) TG? not sure which variant Forsaken TG
14) P&L Statement
15) F16 Fake should ship to Utah for disposal blech
16) Forsaken Battle Mistress

I am calling number 4 the "Humpback Slicer." My 10 year old daughter will be brokenhearted to hear the F16 is a clever forgery, she loves that knife, I have dubbed it the "Groesse Rote Messer."

I haven't held any of the other models but if I had seen a lineup of all of them together I would have picked this one or the saber ground TG. I really dig the secondary grind (false edge) on the tip of spine. It completes the knife in my eyes and makes for better initial penetration.
 
I got some better photos of the CS knives this morning, better background and natural lighting if anybody is in the mood...

Nice bag!

I got the same Mega Ratmandu in mine. Awesome grinds on those. That trough raider isn't too shabby either.

After all that, I managed to post the wrong two photos of the cleaver. Here you go...

Those inlays look worthy of being an impressionist painting from the 1800's, super cool. I'd call that blade more of a mini-Nakiri. Cleaver is a very heavy and large chopping tool, nakiri is thin and light and has great cutting geometry.

Good point on the Nakiri. Whomever does the CS handle selection has quite the eye.
