Grind of Team Gemini Light Brigade?

[Whiteshield]

Hey guys just need to ask, does the TGLB come in a convex or a V-Grind? Thanks

Hollow

Yup...shallow hollow with a v grind if I'm not mistaken. The TG14 I have has a convex saber. Hope this helps.

If you break out your search fu, there is a post from Jerry showing the then new hollow grind on TG LB. They use the equivalent of a 36" wheel to get a very shallow hollow grind. Some cool cross section pics.

TGLB is one I'm sad to have missed on the website, as I hadn't yet entered the fold. Not easy to snag on the Exchange either as they usually last about 3 minutes lol.

Planning on buying one from EBay. Tons of Team Geminis there.

Comp finish where convex.

That is if you are talking about the edge grind. All the coated ones I have seen seem to be v grind.

As always, we need to distinguish between the grind of the main bevel of the blade vs. the grind of the very edge. One is not like the other.

To make things difficult there seems to be no standardized terms for those parts. Some people call the blade bevel the primary grind, while others use that term for the edge and call the blade bevel the secondary grind. YMMV.

Blade grind vs edge grind?

 

[CHEMMINS]

Primary and secondary bevels.

They can be quite over priced on Ebay. If you are not in a hurry, they come up on the exchange pretty often and generally at a very fair price.
