I never knew the tglb had a choil from a sykco chopper

I just received my team Gemini desert camo edition and side by side the differences jump out at you. The weight, the choil, the talon spikes, convexed with swedge. I was aware of some of these but wow. I love them both..... Decisions....

Two beauties right there.

The more I polish the bruiser I'm convinced that it I can't let it go. I was thinking of sending them both in to switch the handles. Then sell the competition finish with the tan micarta when it returns. I'm stumped now

Keep the CF one!

Sweet breavis! I love em both!

I'm in the process of stripping it now. It's soaking in jasco now. I just finished a 3 hour etch, so the logo won't fade. The worst case is I strip it and find that all crusaders are double cut. I'm hoping to get this one as shiny as the tglb which was coated too.

Ok so, apparently all crusaders are double cut. Except mine.... 2 hours hand sanding and here it is

Thanks Tom, I'm up right now just on shear excitement, though my heart sank when I discovered the bead blast... That stuff is thick....

Nope. It's not supposed to be a blow by blow. Just before and after, with comments in between.

Busse007 · Jul 14, 2015

Why, oh why would you let my curiousity kill me like this?

breavis5694 · Jul 14, 2015

It was purely intentional

Really nice pair. Love the way that you made them your own.

Thanks Garth, the shop won't polish double cut so I was left to my own devices. I will be sending the crusader and my fat warden in for some bruiser g10 soon.
