I dream of the TGLB LE as much as any oinker up in here, but I’m also sadistically pleased that Jerry won’t release it!.. (IMHO of course) but tis in line with other things he’s been begged to death about and ignored. I’m the same damn way, so I amusingly appreciate it!
TGLBs were for sale on the website for a looong ass time and we all coulda bought unlimited amounts AND with any options as the custom shop was open at the time...
Reminds me of the Grimsmo Norseman, which I am a fan of & own. People ignored them when they were easily accessible for a good 2 years on their site, then it blew up and everyone cried and cried and CRIED for the bros to churn out more, SWEARING that they’d never sell if they could get one, they don’t care about price or future value (secondary was 3x plus over table at peak), they genuinely love the knife for the craftsmanship etc., it’s not about hype for them, they simply wanted it as a forever keeper, yada yada yada...
The bros built up & cranked em out, steadily making small improvements, and now that market has slumped, and they sometimes sit for weeks available for purchase...
I’m not holier than anyone, and I get sucked in just like anyoink- I just think we are funny ass knife creatures!
Stoked I kept 1 TGLB, but absolutely sick that I sold my gorgeous Bantang TG Tiger Handle- the most beautiful Busse & fixed-blade I’ve ever owned!
