Majority has ruled.

Team Gemini Dagger with no serrations.

Next order of business is as follows :

- length
- thickness
- light brigade treatment
- nuclear meltdown treatment
- blade finish options

I like how you think sir, we shall make you the officiator of keeping the specs in order and discussion points on track...:)
 
Serrations make it look like a dive knife IMHO, I like it but I'd be down for one without serrations. Just preference.

I won't be good for that.

I want both a long one and a short one, both thick, and have zero preference on light brigade, finish, or nuclear meltdown.
 
Please do not post drawings of what you envision.

There is no quicker way to kill this project.

Thanks,

Jerry
 
It sucks and it doesnt.

If Busse truly wants to make a unique design I understand that they'd want to avoid fan drawings.

Just like with the Busse Basic 13, there's only a limited number of things Busse can do to appease the specs of the majority and maintain it's characteristic aesthetics without anyone coming up with a similar design first.

... I just hope Jerry & co have the silent professionals in mind when they make it and that they include serrations!!
 
Honestly, what is the point of serrations?

They are hard to sharpen and don't provide any use a properly sharpened straight edge can't do..
 
I like serrations because they cut better certain things. Even on partially serrated edges serrations help initiate cuts.

I like serrations on daggers because they already have a full plain edge, so it can benefit from having a full length serrated one too.

Also daggers are for what they are.... not the best camp knife, but it can be a good military knife.

Serrations are also best for cutting meat... if you know what I mean...

And INFI is probably the best steel for serrations.

Not to mention, some serrations can be sharpened normally

I understand a serrated dagger does not have that symmetry a collector would want out of a dagger, but if we're talking about a TG dagger, we're talking of a beefy heavy use dagger, something I would want as a general utility knife, not just as a dust collector or purely stabbing tool (like the hawkeye dagger)
 
Instead of serrations I would love to see some true saw teeth. Cross cut like the ones on a Swiss army knife. Those little buggers eat thru wood and bone like there's no tomorrow. Then leave the end unsharpened for batoning.........but I guess that wouldn't make it a dagger anymore.

You would still need to de burr the scallop in the serrations if you sharpen this like a regular knife. Personally i prefer all serrations or no serrations. Which is why i usually carry 2 knives.
 
I am Sooo glad to hear Boss chime in, makes me think that its possible,
And instead of Drawings, lets Put our Faith In Jerry.... Again, im sure He Wont let Us Down...
I mean, Come on, look at BB13 lol
In the worst case, Any Busse Dagger is better than No Dagger lol
 
I don't have any legitimate use for a dagger.

That being said, I'd be in for at least one. :D
 
If it's Texas legal - 5.5" blade or less, I'll snag at least one.
 
And for us Cali HOGS, how 'bout a nice false edge like the HUCK FIN on an 8" B.I.G. Finish INFI Blade?
I'll take two Boss! :thumbup: --- :D
 
I deny all knowledge of the picture that was allegedly posted earlier, but if it had been posted, I would have liked it.

My preferences would be:
- No serrations - if you want to achieve a similar effect, just keep one edge coarsely sharpened.
- At least as long as the original - a dagger should have reach, it's not for making feather sticks.
- No thicker than the original - this will not be a heavy chopper or a knife for battoning, 3/16 - 1/4" will already be plenty strong enough for other uses.
- LB treatment - a double-edged blade will already be lighter than the original knife, and a LB handle should put the balance exactly where it should be.
