View attachment 1611380I got my pops a 1k box. He is happy to say the least.

Don’t think I’ve seen a bronze mentor. I dig it.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Grinder "Magic"....Handles are different also. Have any had Black Res-C or just all Tan so far?

Yeah, different blanks in different handles. Without going back and looking, I think they've all been tan.

Don’t think I’ve seen a bronze mentor. I dig it.

I don't recall ever seeing a cerakoted Mentor before...

Here is my score from this years grab bag.

Wow love that TGM! Congrats!

Some nice scores! I was still recovering from our PCS move and still waiting on the damn mover’s insurance to pay for the blades that his packers stole so I didn’t get in on the fun. Next time though…

I am quite pleased.

Not a bad set of grab bags. I did not snag any of the blades I was wanting, i was hoping for more satin finished blades and I was really hoping for a P&L Statement.

If anyone can confirm the identity of the blades that would be great.

From left to right, we have.

1. SYKCO Proto (With Thumb Rest) SR-101
2. SYKCO Pro (Drop Point) SR-101
3. Busse Combat Team Gemini Mini A2 Special Edition (Blue G10 with Silver Hammered coating)
3. Forsaken Gemini, Black and grey Pincecone resin handles, hammered finish.
4. Busse Nuclear Nano Fusion Forsaken Steel Heart, Brown base cerakote with black stripes
5. SYKCO Proto (large blade with dual sweeps on the spine) SR-101
6. Team Gemini Ultra Light Brigade, tan canvas micarta handles, multicam camo cerakote blade
7. Swamprat Infiweiler light tan base cerakote with camo.
9. SYKCO AR9.5 in INFI, with Old Glory cerakote
10. Trough Raider, strange camo color, black base with goldish brown and dark brown camo.

Great Job Jerry and crew! A lovely bunch of blades!

Congrats! Just a little jealous, as I was hoping for that exact FBM to be in my bag.

#4 looks like a Forsaken Gemini. The rest look good to me, though #7 could be a different TG model. You’re probably right, though.

We need some Swamp Rat proto's

Is there a good way to verify? what models are there in the gemini lineup that are similar and what should they weigh?
