Hello

Up for sale are the following:
Busse Team Gemini Light Brigade INFI in Tanker Gray with Black G10 handles & Patriot leather Sheath with Firesteel and Stone Pouch. This was my SHTF rig. It is set up for left hand carry as my firearm is on the right. TGLB was never used just handled with factory edge. Purchased here in 2015 like new from member Havoc550. The Sheath has a firesteel loop with included firesteel (never used) and a front pocket which currently is housing a SAK (included!) but you can place a knife sharpening stone if you like. I always like the TGLB / SAK combo for its versatility. See pics below. Awesome knife and awesome sheath.... WITHDRAWN EFFECTIVE 12/01/20 Shipped via PayPal (I’ll cover the fees).
Note: Will not separate sheath from blade at this time.
Elastic Leg Strap used for photo posted below to this post on 11/20/20 not included.

Unlikely second. Basically, I'm letting Kyle know that I'll take it from him if he ever decides to move it on.

 

[TheWayOfTheGun1]

AK is sold. Thank you Kyle.

That's looking like black paper Micarta on your TGLB, from where I'm sitting, but I've been wrong before ...

two of my favorite models, GLWYS!

Hi Petey
I will post a close up (with lighting from my bedroom) for you to take a look at. Let me know if it helps identifying the handle materials. Havoc550 had it advertised as G10 and had excellent feedback at the time of sale so I had no reason to believe it was Micarta. I’m by no means a Busse expert. Fellas let me know your thoughts.

Ehhhhh, looks like micarta to me, but definitely not paper micarta. There’s textile in there whatever it is. Looks cool.

 

[luethge]

Could be G10 , paper usually doesn’t show any grain type texture, that I’ve seen anyway.

 

[TheWayOfTheGun1]

Any idea what type of Micarta?
Here is a pic with lighting from a surefire sidekick.

Out of an abundance of caution I have added more photos for review.

One last pic

With the closeup pictures, looking at the areas where it’s radiused I’d say it’s black G10.

 

[TheWayOfTheGun1]

Thanks for the info Antdog and all others for your advice. Anyone is free to chime in. It is greatly appreciated. I’m going to bed. Thank you for your time and insight fellas.

wow, nice detail pics!

from the long shot it looked like paper micarta because of the sheen and clean, sharply defined machining...but now with the close ups, I'm sure it's not paper because you can't see the woven fibers with paper like you can what you have there.

here's a nice shot of the "endgrain" of the layers of canvas micarta:

here's a shot of G10 inside a fastener hole:

I'm leaning more toward g10 now with your detail pics. G10 has a kinda "grainy" appearance to the end cuts of the woven glass fibers. Sorry for any thread derailment.

Thank you for your detailed photos and reply Petey. I appreciate your expertise Sir.
