Oh my goodness is that one thick piggie . Just how thick was the HogB8 again? I am probably going to pass. Though of course, I really really want one.

I'm fairly certain the HOGB8 as well as the HOG Gemini were both .350"

@Jerry Busse, can we get a spine shot?
tis a beasht !!!
Wowzers! OK, So 3 knives, a Burp, a Battle Shark and the movie star from the movie "Boar" walk into a swing club - After shots of Viagra and steroids they fall into a tangled mess of snorts, grunts, squeals in the "Makin Bacon" room and the love child of this drunken night of mind numbing blissfulness was born ~ Good god man! that's outrageous!
I don't rightly know where I'm at on it just yet, that's got to soak in for a while LOL! no wonder Jerry is up at the wee hours of the night, he's an evil genius who not only raises the bar, he is the bar.
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when he revealed this one and said "Hey gang! We're gonna make this one!" HAHAHA!

I can’t be the only one(or maybe I am) wishing it was .187, .20 or at least .25 and then have a thick cut nuke at .315.
Should make a real nice chopper/overall badass type of knife though
Currently on the fence.

Argh, you are absolutely correct I think. I didn't actually see that the thickness was .315 until you posted that. 0.315 will look really cool, but it would be a much more usable knife if it was not that thick. I need to really think on this knife now.
Yep, very true - But the one thing I also see is a lot of material removed so I imagine it's going to be a lot lighter than it looks. If I compare the thickness to the HOGB8, that is a real splitting maul, but it seems the thickness at the major spine allows it to have such a tall profile thinning out all the way. In the belly it seems to be much taller than the hog8 allowing for a shallower angle - It certainly would appear to be in the fat chopper category sort of like a shorter, fatter BB13 with some DNA of the Forsaken Mistress~ and that bowie clip is just rad as hell. Certainly an assault on the open mind HAHA!
