The Return Of The Team Gemini Ultra Light Brigade...Sunday August 28, 2022 at 9PM Eastern...Now Available in Stone Washed Finish

Thank U, yeah I was talking about the TG-m for "operation 2 weeks" I have one and like it.
My favorite (Grail) would have to be TG-14....will be again when I track one down.

IF you are talking about the Combat Grade TG-M that was released in Operation Two Weeks, then you are correct. If you are talking about the ones from Blade Show long before that when the TG-M first made an appearance, those were .25" thick with the Light Brigade treatment. I've had most of the TG variants over the years and these are my favorite, with the original TG Light Brigade as a close second. Still unbreakable for most all purposes but a bit more svelte in hand and carry.

Nailed it. IMO. Although I have to admit, I’ve never held a TGLB. But da**, I just don’t know how it could be much better than the TGULB. It is by far my favorite Busse user.

TG14 is bad a**! Almost as bada** as MY grail, the TG Crusader. But that’s just for looks, I’ll admit.
 
Daryl Dixon APPROVED!!

Customer sent in their Team Gemini Ultra Light Brigade for reprofiling and sharpening. Requested 15 DPS edge geometry, this one ended up just a scotch under that at the straight portion of the edge and tapers to a couple degrees under 20 DPS at the tip with a 220 grit finish - straight off my Tormek T8. If you look closely you'll see two distinct scratch patterns present.

Deburring and sharpening was done on the same Aluminum Oxide 220 grit grinding wheel it was reprofiled on at 1 degree per side higher angle (shows up as more diagonal scratch pattern rather than vertical). The result is an edge with very high slicing aggression and edge retention while still allowing high push cutting ability. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!

Chris great job.... 15 dps is the sweet spot for thus size blade.
 
I won’t say it will never happen, but this is what Jerry said in 2019 for the original TGULB release….

“The TGULB is the final evolution of the Team Gemini Light Brigade concept!!!! :thumbsup::cool:”

Its time for INFI performance videos. I have never seen any. Only talk from back in the day. No proof... we need videos. Not old sr77 videos or Noss videos. Current INFI videos

Yup. Thick enough that you know is still strong. Yet thin enough to make it a good slicer.

I re-profiled my edge with a nice convexed edge, mirrored nicely. I tried to keep the original edge angle, so it would stay beefy behind the edge, yet convexed it back from there, so that it would slice much better than the original edge. It worked swimmingly well.

Mine is a coated version, the comp finish is not available on the site, or least when I ordered mine last month.
