TGLB..INFI or other how do I tell the difference?

[hiker45acp]

I picked up a TGLB at a show a while back for $400 and now I am not sure. I how do I tell the difference if it has an INFI steel blade or other? I am not real savy on the steel types and this one is only marked BUSSE. Photos attached.

That is Infi. The SR101 or A2 versions are marked with the respective steel on the blade. While the INFI ones only have the Busse name on them.

 

[Mmm...bacon]

That is infi by having the big busse logo .nice blade

Nice score!

Hiker.....so sorry my brother......that happens to be a fake. The logo has the tell take signs.

This kind of thing pisses me off to no end!! Con men making cheap stamped out Busse knock offs for penny's on the dollar and then ripping off unsuspecting, stand up citizens like yourself!!!

Send me your address and I will pay for shipping on the knife. Send it to me and I will find the maker responsible and make sure this doesn't happen again!

Hang in there brother.......we will get this figured out!

[hiker45acp]

I guess its a keeper.....glad to hear this...Thank you all...you too Snakebreaker..ha ha ..

 

[zombieassassin]

INFI...nice score!

 

[StealthCaliber]

The easiest way other than the logo to tell is the weight. If its forward heavy its an LB if its balanced its probably and original or an.a2

Really Nice Score! Snap!

 

[nicksison]

Thanks appreciate the reply.

No problem.

Super nice snag! You could sell that and buy 2 more at the same price- that's how well you did -

 

[Apocryphiliac]

Damn! Usually stuff is overpriced at shows from my experience. You made out like a bandit!

 

[bubbaskyjacker]

400!

Big fuller , that’s how you really tell.

As everyone has already verified you got the TGLB, I really only got mine because I think the huge fuller is awsome. A2 has the next biggest fuller.

On top of everything else mentioned, the TGLB is the only hollow grind (dished/concave primary bevel) of them all. Same goes for the M version.

For 400?
