There's a new Busse addict on the loose!:eek:

Not surprising though as these are amazing blades.

A fellow that goes by Silverbullets got me HOOKED on this stuff.

I got the Team Gemini from Dan ... Thanks!:thumbup: ... and love it!

I think it is the ultimate full guard utility/fighter IMO.

Found the Bad MOJO link here on the forum and used the D-Guard instructions that were provided.

The instructions said that I'd get sore fingers ... I laughed as I'm a construction worker with pretty tough hands ... well they are a little sore.;)

So here are some pictures ... not real good ones as it is raining here but as you can tell I'm proud of the knife and how the guard came out.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to finish off the excess cord let me know.:thumbup:

Threw in some KIN also!

I think the Spec-Ops sheath and P-Cord that I had laying around go good with the Gemini.

Now it is time to put this one to some use!

Thanks for looking everyone ... I appreciate it!

... and sorry about the huge post.

Sweet Knives! Looks like you are ready to use that, that D-Guard looks like it's ready to ROCK!
 
That D-guard came out looking great! :thumbup:

Everytime I try that style it never works out, so I just stick with the cobra stitches.

Nice set up, now all you have to to is strip her :D
 
Thanks!

It was my second try .... the first was uneven and halfway through I realized that I didn't have enough cord on one side!

I've definitely thought about a convex and stripping up to the fuller.
 
Ain't nothing to be sorry about...Nice post, cool pix!! :thumbup::thumbup: Glad to see that there's at least one other fan of the TG out there... :foot:;) :D That D-guard looks cool on it as well!

Thanxx for posting! :)
 
Thanks Jaxx!

Have to admit that I saved your pictures of the TG onto my puter!

Really like this one with the NMSFNO.

Awesome pair and great photo!:thumbup:

Hope it is cool that I posted that.;)
 
Awesome blade that Team Gemini. Love that sheath you have for it too.

Thanks for sharing mate :)
 
Finally have a TG incoming myself. I can't wait to hold it and decide if it's a keeper or not. That upper guard is something else!
 
It definitely inspires confidence!

I've done some cutting with it and haven't had to much trouble choking up on it.

Of course I'd use a smaller blade for fine cutting.

I use my thumb a lot for leverage ... right or wrong it works for me ... so this blade feels natural.

With a smaller blade for "bushcraft" and a little folder for details, , I could definitely put this into service for light chopping, heavy batoning, digging a latrine, dispatching an adversary or showing off to knife nuts!:D

My kind of stuff.:p

To fix the ends of the paracord, light the frayed ends with a lighter or match and let it burn for a second or two. Then blow it out. You'll get a clean, hard end from the meltdown.

oh, and nice pix. :thumbup:
 
Thanks shunsui!

That is what I was thinking .... just treat the ends and not tie any more knots.

I'll take your advice and do it!:thumbup:
 
Nice first piece of infi for sure.

I like the look of the team Gemini. They are bigger than you realize, until you see one next to a NMSFNO, and they don't look much smaller at all.

Nice scrapyard and swamprat kin as well.

I need to get me some kin.

Welcome!
 
Thanks Bigfattyt!

It's bigger than I expected ... but that's a GOOD thing!:D

Has some good forward weight.



Silverbullets ... thank you bro!

I appreciate all of your help and enabling!:D

You definitely know good steel.

You are a true friend and brother of the blade!:thumbup:



I'll do my best to give this one a work out.:cool:

thanks brother, same to you, looking forward to getting back out for another camping trip :thumbup:
 
Sexy Team Gemini. I think the D-Guard will help index the edge? Nice color match with the paracord and the sheath...
