Well, it arrived yesterday! I love it!
While I was waiting for it to arrive I ended up buying an original TG with the intentions of selling off whichever one I liked least.
I originally had the tanker grey with black canvas ordered but switched over to tan/black G10 for obvious reasons.
As I saw everyone else's arrive, I started regretting the tan and black. I really ended up liking the green blade, green/black G10 combo as well as the black paper and sage. In person though, I'm really happy with the color combo that I got.
One of the first things I noticed was that there were some lines on the blade that don't look quite right. I contacted Busse and they are just machining lines. They said I could send it back and get them taken off. I'm still up in the air because it isn't really that big of a deal.
Then I realized that the sheath I ordered wasn't included. Sometime in the process of switching handle colors, it got dropped off the order. They offered to send me one with free shipping. I declined, figuring since leather is what I really want, that is what I will go for.
Nothing but good dealings with Busse. Great customer service!
Anyway, back to the knife. It isn't razor sharp, but the edge is decent. I love the weight of it! It is significantly lighter than the original TG.
The feel of the G10 is going to take some getting used to. It is every bit as ergonomic as the original, but I'm used to the canvas.
The coating is quite a bit different on the TGLB. Where the original had quite a smooth coating, the LB is more textured and reminds me of my RMD.
Overall, I love it and the TGLB is definitely my keeper! I can't wait to go chop something up with it!
Why does nobody seem to make leather sheaths for the TG? I'm hoping this changes now that the TGLB is out because I am now in need of one.
