My good friend, Tom Kanik, picked up a Busse Team Gemini for me at Blade. This is the shorter verion with a blade just under 6" as measured from the scales. Just as the long version is bigger than the Marine Combat, the short version is much bigger than the Air Force pilot knife.


The TGM is about the same size as the Rodent 6. It weighs in at 15 oz, so it is much thicker and beefier than either the Marine or the AF knife. We never had knives this tough when I was in the war. Even the Ratmandu out does anything we had.



I even found a sheath to fit the TGM. I think it is an old Ranger Knife sheath.

Now that I'm 65 and too old to fight well, I have some awesome combat knives.
