Hollow Grind List

In looking at the TG vs TGLB, here's a few things I noticed...
Presence/lack of grind line is an easy one...

Then, fuller width & top of fuller position with respect to logo.
TGLB fuller is wider.

I wasn't the original purchaser of either... hopefully I'm not providing training on what to look for in a fake.:oops:
EDIT: Whew... I feel better now... my TG looks just like Cupid #31 & logo also matches Cupid 30/32.
And I found an old Exchange ad from 2015 with the same knife/logo.

There were only 3 production combos of OTG-
Sage/Tan Canvas
Black crinkle/black canvas
Tanker Gray/black canvas
&-
1 Custom Shop OTG run- Satin/Tigerhide.

And my Sage OTG fuller is approx. .35" wide, using a typical Craftsman 25' tape measure... So, .37" is entirely in the ballpark for a legit OTG fuller (as I assume your tool of measurement is more accurate than me eyeing it with the tape measure).
The logo position is the same on yours as mine. 🤙FB_IMG_1538381089025.jpg
 
Thank you Jaxx Jaxx !
My 0.37" fuller width measurement is pretty close, but I wouldn't say that's what it definitely is. I was using calipers, but I given that it's coated and my near vision is getting a little less good... I wouldn't argue with a little different number.:thumbsup:

Not spec'ed like this when it came out, but you can see the marks of the round grinding head when you strip it (older pic)....

Almost. I think the entire primary is shallow hollow (check the grinding circles). Thanks !

Arced plunge line reminds me of a SH1 (not hollow).
Can you lay a straight edge across the primary bevel & show some pics of light under the straight edge, and at the tip? Some evidence would help assuage the “I think” part.
I don’t want us to stub our toe & appreciate your help getting accurate info.

Good idea, never occured to me to check like this. And you were right, tip only (about two inches in).
