Difference in the TGLB and the original. I have an order in for another TGLB but was reading around that there was a prior TG blade, so I am just curious if anyone can post a pic and specs of the original. Thanx fellas

You can see the Light Brigade treatment as well as the different grinds below the fuller.
 
The team gemini regular brigade has convex grind, is heavier, and has a smaller blood groove

That looks great. You just take some sand paper to it? I personally get a kick out of mods done by people on their own knifed. Really makes it theirs.
 
Both were done with an electric die grinder to remove the bulk of the material then finished with 80 grit and 220 grit on an orbital sander.
They don't look as good as the feel!!!
I like deciding how much to take and where to take it from. Very personal feel to the knife.
 
Oh I didn't do it either bro. That's Tony's work. He did my NMFSH as well.
After seeing him do it though, I would certainly try. It is pretty easy. The material comes off pretty slow. I was surprised.
I would even try doing my own scales and may consider trying such with my Ruck but not until after I try to hand shape my Skinny ASH.
I'll post pics of both when/if I do them.
