Anybody have both of these and have an opinion of the edge thickness? I have a forsaken, but wonderig about the TGULB. Probably dont need another but that hollow edge sounds cool. Really like those thin ground Busses. Thanks guys!
 
Not what I wanted to hear lol. And yet, what I wanted to hear ;)

What kinda scales did you go with? I like g10 and micarta and wondering how the balance is between them.
 
I went with Competition Finish and Black G-10. Canvas would be lighter, if your into the whole Ultralight thing. Canvas usually feels better in my hands, but I really like Nuked G-10.

No worries Brother, come up and you can handle them all.

For me the TGULB is the best Busse has made in the TG model. with the TGLB a close second
I really only need one TGULB for sheath making but somehow I have 4 of them and would not mind a 5th.
I am with you on the g-10 they just look so much nicer.

Now that is a spread! But where's that crusader you wanted to trade me?

I just visited the Busse site and it looks like the Trustee Warden is gone. Got scared for a moment when I saw less knives. Be funny if they were gone when I finally pony up.
 
I'll jump on here to say I definitely agree with what has already been said. I have both the Forsaken Gemini and (2) TGULB. I used the FG quite a bit, but preferred the HR2.... until I got the TGULB. The TGULB has supplanted all others as my favorite camping, and just general, knife.

My FG is maroon micarta.
One TGULB is maroon micarta, one is black micarta. For using, I really prefer micarta. If you want a looker, micarta will never be better than G10, although the maroon micarta can come REALLY close.

Same here. I preferred the HR2 to the FTG, and I like the TGULB more than both.

Yeah, I went with DC and maroon. Spare a few bucks and see how light it can get. The maroon is looking real good lately. Always wonder why it isn't more popular.

I think the newer black micarta, which is quite a bit blacker than it used to be, is causing black to be popular. In fact, my TGULB with black micarta is my more used one. Not sure why... it just kinda turned out that way.
 
Isn’t the FG .35” thick? I feel like you couldn’t break that thing if you tried.

Edit: it’s the HOG Gemini I’m thinking of.
 
Agreed. I guess not surprising since they were a limited run. Or... at least only offered for a limited time.
