The Hogs have spoken. The Squealing has been deafening. The Nano Team Gemini is returning once again to the Busse Combat Website tonight Friday, November 22, 2024, at 9:00 PM Eastern.
What is the Nano Team Gemini (NTG) you may ask yourself and where did it come from?
This version of the Team Gemini was developed with years of feedback from some very specialized teams and units. It was determined that the regular Gemini would prove much easier to carry and deploy in the field if we made a few changes to the existing design. So, we put this legendary Busse Combat model on a strict diet of Lean Bacon, Bourbon, and Scotch. This specialized diet gave it a narrower guard along with a shorter and lighter-weight blade. Couple this with a slimmer overall profile and these additions make the NTG much easier to carry and less prone to snagging on adjoining gear.
The NTG Nuclear Option:
The Nuclear Option is not for the faint of heart but rather for those bacon-loving HOGs who do not fear the unknown!!!
The Nuclear option on the NTG is a grab bag of sorts. You will receive a randomly selected handle from a pile of Nuclear Castoffs.
This pile of handles has many hand-laminated G10 and Micarta slabs as well as some solid colors not normally offered!
This option does not allow you to choose your handle!!!! . . . You do not get A CHOICE! You will get whatever you get by the blind luck of the draw! It is a veritable PORKpourri of oddball handle materials! The Nuclear Option will also include the Busse Custom Shop logo.
Nobody likes whine with their bacon, so we have implemented a "No returns/No whine clause"!
There are no returns on the Nuclear Option. . . .
So, you can either play it safe or you can go where only the bravest of HOGs have gone before. . . . to PORKpourri and beyond!!!!!
Cheers,
Garth
