Team Gemini Ultra Light Brigade!!!. . . . Coming Wednesday 9-25-2019!!!!. . . . 9:00 PM Eastern!!!

Pending dings sure do make balancing the checkbook.... interesting.

 

I want a TGULB

 

Knife of the year maybe? .... I'm calling before Christmas - in fact, I'll go ahead and say it - 2 more weeks

 

I agree! This could be the knife if the year. I really want to get it before Christmas. If so, I plan to put the bacon wrapped box under the tree and not open till Christmas morning. Oh the excitement! I would feel like a kid again!

 

I hope it more of a New Years gift lol. January please!

 

At least, get the Christmas over and then start on a high for next Year

 

So... these are gone?

 

Basically, yes. You can contact the shop and get on the list in case there are any cancellations, and once they start shipping, you'll be able to find them on the Exchange (almost certainly for less than eBay). But for a regular order, you're about a month and a half too late.

 

Any idea when we can expect dings and for them to start shipping? Would be nice if it was here for Christmas...

 

Don't even think about it till after Christmas

 

Two weeks

 

I missed this Will this knife ever be produced again?

 

In this configuration? Not likely. Rarely see a Nuked Competition Finish offered. Deep Dish style, at that.

There are a lot a variants of the Team Gemini out there, but per the Boss Hog himself:

 

Call or email the Busse shop and ask to be put on the wait list for canceled orders. Also, watch the exchange like a hawk after they ship, there’s always one or two at least that get posted right away.

 

There is a possibility that this will be sold on the Busse website as a regular offering, but only Busse will be able to advise on this.

 

I wonder how this would compare to ratmanduex(?)?

 

TGULB Specs:

Blade Finish: Coated, BIG DC, and Competition. (Some light machining marks may be visible on both the BIG DC and Competition Finishes)

VS

They appear fairly similar on paper, though I’m sure they’ll feel completely different in hand.
