Probably a little extra drool on the new one.The Maroon Canvas HOG weighs 27.4oz
The Black Canvas HOG weighs 27.6oz
Lol, thanx Jack!Sweet pair congrats on the score!
I used to think the TG's were too tacticool for my tastes, most of it because of the top guard. But man, that handle is a sexy beast. And I have to admit, some blades just look "right" with a fuller, and this is one of them.
The nice thing about a thick blade is that if you suck at sharpening, you can still bludgeon the intruder to death. Probably cuts bananas well too.
Not really....It shares much of the Style of the TGLB, but that is where it ends. Like the "Original" Team Gemini similar, BUT very different...This New iteration shares only "Team Gemini" in name the TGLB was "Light Brigade" these new ones are "Heavy Ordinance Grade"...Longer and Thicker is NOT TGLB...Still a nice bladeLol, yup.
Would I be correct in saying that it's a TGLB, but a bit longer and a lot thicker?
Oh, ok. Did the original team Gemini have a fuller?Not really....It shares much of the Style of the TGLB, but that is where it ends.

That is some beautiful bacon! As usual sir.... keep me in mind if you tire of having 2 HOGs![]()
Not the best Idea to be trying to change the Name Designation just because they look similar...Somewhere down the Road a buyer or seller might make a mistake and claim the blade to be something it's not...Original had fuller but was flat ground with convex edge, TGLB has shallow Hollow grind, TG14 is convex...HOG is Deep Hollow on Massive slab of INFI all are very different in someway. Just call it what Jerry named it since it is his creation.Oh, ok. Did the original team Gemini have a fuller?
I was thinking it looked more like a tglb more than the original or 14 or crusader.
I certainly realize she not light by any means lol
Just that she favors the tglb more than the others if that makes sense.
Thanx for the info!!
