Great pics and great discussion. I can almost feel it in hand. Thanks, Hogs ! I was kind of hoping for the flat swedge all the way to the tip but the hollow ground bone-breaker is growing on me. I can see the advantages....thanks to the great pics everyone has posted. Keep 'em coming !

Fwiw, this grind pattern is a spitting image of the HOG Gemini.

I'd love it too if everyone was getting free War Boars...

A War Boar is my White Whale....
That's a great looking piece of kit!

Yep, agreed 100%!!! I noticed the same last night as I was digging through the safe looking for something else and saw mine!

The Forsaken Gemini.
Born on the same day as the original Team Gemini, the Forsaken Twin was passed up on a coin toss! We are very excited to bring this Forsaken Gemini to the market! The "cool factor" of the CBT (Corrugated Bevel Technology) enhances the great lines of the now legendary Team Gemini design.

Nuclear Option HOG Gemini
The nuclear option HOG Gemini is .350 thick and features a deep hollow bevel. The HOG Gemini will be VERY LIMITED in numbers!!!!

Both are offered in coated and competition finish. The competition finish has...

Mine also, I have been hunting it for a long time. I'll take some pictures and start a new thread about it. Kinda a cool story.

If I could time travel, I'd go back and get on this list. What a great looking bowie.

Really nice one just went up on the exchange but it got snapped up with back up already called.

No help for you, I know. But I said this just so you can keep your eye on the Ex. because this model seems to be fairly divisive with the style points and I'd wager some more will be tossed back in the trough to the Hogs.

My 2 cents is that, regardless of the final design look-- for the materials, size, GFD price, and guarantee, it's one of the most value packed offerings out of Wauseon in a while. And with the way things are going with raw material markets, it may be the best buy-in for some years to come!

Regretfully, I just posted mine on the exchange.

I feel for ya… must have been tough. Real nice finish.

It's the nicest one I have seen in a long time.

Do you think they'll do another run with modifications based on feedback, or just at the full price originally listed? I'd take one either way, but can never seem to catch anything on the exchange before its snapped up.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Guess what just landed?

I'll get pics as soon as I can. Very interesting nuked handle scales...

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Here they are!!!







Looks like a layer of digicam G10 over my favorite of the old rare color patterns (black/red/gray) from back in the day. I would have preferred just the black/red/gray without the digicam since it's my favorite, but the digicam is unusual. Looks good on this one!

Maybe nuke handle fellas can do some horse trading, for preferences. I’ve got a nuke handle SW & CF awaiting shipment (and dig yours)

Boy howdy! As Happy as a <INDUCTED> HOG in slop here!!!!

The "Competition Finish" + G10 is more closer to museum quality than Competition imho. Only the lightest machining marks here and there. I was so hyped when I un-mummied it I thought I'd gotten sent a Satin by mistake!

The G10 was dry so I gave her a drink of mineral oil in the first couple of pics.

My jaw dropped further when I unwrapped the "Desert Bronze" + Black Canvas Micarta. This thing is more like "Dessert" Bronze because it is so SWEEEEEETTT!

The contrast of the dry dry canvas micarta with the sparkly desert bronze really evokes hot dry sand.

I wished I'd gotten a bronze with G10 to go with this dynamic duo!

I'm not gonna get into the balance & ergos of these 2 at this point because I honestly feel gobsmacked in the best way possible and it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to be objective at this moment!

That's generally what happens if people aren't fully satisfied with their lottery entry. I'm keeping mine!
