Gemini's NOW AVAILABLE!!! I repeat, INFI FOR YOUR FIX!!

I guess time will tell, this is my most expensive purchase so far. I hope it holds up to whatever I throw at it. Thanks
 
In gentlemen!

Were some color combos not available (ex: red/black on Tanker) or were there some that sold out?
 
I think you can mix and match any color blade to any color handle offered. Just because there is not a picture of a combination may not mean it can't be ordered. I asked Pokey a similar question earlier today.
Nothing has been sold out as they haven't been built yet.
 
First busse ever bought on the site blk on paper blk. Third Busse ever and from the look and spec the best all around. ......can't wait!
 
Anybody get a muddy color blade? I'm thinking of getting it with the orange handle. I've had both tanker gray and black blades with orange handles and both look good. Wanted to get muddy to have something different. Decisions, decisions...

So many choices, too many maybe. For my first one of these I went with Tanker and Black Canvas w/ Black Spec Ops combat master. I figure this is a very popular color and material combination.
 
May I ask how long after ordering these ate expected to be shipped just ordered one :-) black blade/black and tan g10 handle :-)

Pretty excited!!! I am in the uk
Cheers
 
Man I'd love to have this with screws and hollowed magnum scales. Add some survival matches, 1/8" fero, water tabs, some 50lb fishing line. Busse with fire, shelter and water all in one.

What more would Rambo need??? :D

Just buy the combat sheath with it...there's a POUCH on it. You can store lots of goodies in there! :)

The full convex grind of the 1st generation TG would be stronger than the large hollow grind of the LBTG. Under about any use but heavy prying it would not matter. I would bet the LBTG will be a much better slicer and be much less carry weight - Overall a superior knife except for ill-advised extreme abuse.

Here is a picture by Busse last year comparing the original to the proposed light brigade treatment.

The 1st generation is more like an axe or maul and the LBTG is more of a heavy duty slicer or knife.

That is an interesting pic, thanks for bringing it up. It looks like the fuller is lower down on the blade of the LB version, so there is more full thicknesss steel between the fuller and the spine. Wonder if that is to maintain a sufficient level of lateral strength?

I haven't had my ration of Kool-Aid this month, so I have some questions for the Hogs:

Does anyone have a spine shot of a TG handle? It looks like it might suffer from the 'golf ball' effect, with that thick middle section in your palm.

Is anyone worried about fluids being trapped in the chambers under the scales?

Not a hog by any means! But this is something I had not thought of. Would rubber liners eliminate this problem? It'd suck to have the micarta damaged from the inside out by this issue.

From what I have seen and read there's no way to get this in the DCBB finish. If I were to get one and strip it anyone know which finish is stripped the easiest?

What is the difference between the paper and G10?

Prolly gonna have to get two of these... The black on black (badass) and the black & tan G10 to strip.
 
I'm new to the forum, and new to busse. I just ordered 1 of these ( one desert sage with tan canvas) and i'm pretty excited! curious what you guys think. are there any negatives to a hollow grind? I really liked the origional team gemini, just wondering if the weight reduction will cause any structural integrity issues :P this forum is great btw, I'm learning a TON! I'm actually planning on ordering a second one this afternoon in muddy brown with black canvas. figured I can save one for trade material if nothing else, but knowing me i'll probably keep them both.
