GEMINI has landed!

Oh boy I’m happy with these! I’d consider it a home run by the Busse crew

I’m really digging the nuke handles… especially the sort of G-Rex one.

Some size comparisons…

Plenty of hand room… I think it’s just right
I find it very comfortable, easy to choke up on & still feels secure gripping closer to the pommel.

Congrats! Those are nice!
Looks like you scored some cool handles from the Nuke option

 

[Boss1911]

Wow, they look great. I'm really glad I talked myself into this one. Mine is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday... I ordered Competition with Black canvas.

 

[MacLaren1]

Outstanding Nuker!

I really like the handles on those, and it may be the reflection or angle of the photos, but the choils on the TG's look very minimalistic < almost flat > as they transition into the edges-- or is that just the pics?

The other swords have more deeply defined choils it appears to my eye.

 

[MacLaren1]

I love that middle Custom Shop version!

 

[Nuker]

Yep, choils are flat/minimalistic. Matches the concept image in post #1.

Fuller ends don’t match, but the tapered ended fuller looks better IMO. I used to want the radius ended fuller… I’m happy though, the final product is TITS!!

 

[Nuker]

I love that middle Custom Shop version!

It sort of pairs with some of my other CS blades… Forefather/FMV6s

Wow, all those are just stunning

 

[X10commander]

Nuker, Thanks for the pictures. They look amazing. Is TGS heavy in the hand?

Well… I mean, you know you’re handling a hunk of limb chopping’ love… but, I for sure wouldn’t say it’s heavy.

It feels very good IMO.

That's a big boy! I must be a wimp. I thought that the FMV16 was heavy at 34 oz.

I'm afraid and excited to think about the axe...this thing will be light by comparison

 

[Nuker]

That's a big boy! I must be a wimp. I thought that the FMV16 was heavy at 34 oz.

Yep, you’re a wimp… and you extended your length by two inches.
But, don’t get too down on yourself, Brother… we’ve all got our flaws

TGS19 (G-10): 43.8 oz
TGS19 (G-10 & canvas Micarta): 42.4 oz
Boar Lord (G-10): 36.8 oz
Hognose War Sword: 31.1 oz
Nuclear Forsaken Mistress: 25.8 oz
(0.340”) MOAB LE: 37.1 oz
(0.396”) NMMOAB: 41.8 oz
FMV14 (G-10): 34 oz

One-handed. TGS19 is heavier than FMV14, Boar Lord, etc… but, with one-handed grip choked up on the handle… the mass towards the pommel acts as a counter-balance & makes it feel lighter.

And, it’s just plain ’ol filled to the rim with badass-ness!

Two handed… watch out!

More pics…

The two-tone nuke is epic to me .. nice score ! Let me know if that is up for grab ever sir !

 

[Nuker]

It’s hard to order just one nuke!
Multiple rolls of the nuclear dice increase odds of getting something to really connect with. Lesser favorites can sell or make good trading material.

That grn G-10/grn canvas one would be very hard to let go of!!!… my favorite

Payment ding!

Dinged and Paid!
