5" Quality - which one would you pick?

[Gress]

I love all three, however what would you take as a preferred user?

Three middle knives here

#159 out of the 2nd & 3rd pics.
top knife in the first pic, which I suspect is also the top knife in the 3rd pic.

I have a BATAC LE and like it except for the thickness. The ASH-1 LE is more useable despite its larger size due to its thinner blade. The SAR 4 is nearly five inches in length.

 

[hoopster]

Probably the BATAC. I like the choil and handle ergos. Probably doesn't need to be so thick but proper edge geometry would suffice.

 

[J_Curd]

The middle in the stack of 5. I like thin blades...the others look way beefy for 5in blades.

 

[randomlooker]

The one with orange/black handles. The others all look like their blades are way too thick for a knife that size.

 

[Gress]

Thanks for reply guys. Actually neither one is too thick
These are all fine cutters. ASH-1 made to my first pic by mistake, as it is way larger, as you can see here.

Don't take me wrong, I love my ASH-1 and it is my toughest knife at .32" thick infi, but like I said it should not be compared to other three.

The one you like the best is Busse SAR-4.
If you like thin blades you can take the one from either side

Nice M4 box elder mule

The "other" knives ant' bad either, but I would take that orange SAR4 in a second. :thumbup:

 

[Gress]

Thanks, So-Lo
I am really glad I've got that Mule! You see its in a good home Its my fav (in a different league though).

Your the man, you have a very nice collection.... Busse to Spyderco to Hinderer

I think your pretty well covered!

Waaaaaaay to go for me to be a half way were you are

[cultivateitnow]

Pretty easy choice, #159.

 

[banana-clip]

The BATAC of the 3 would make a good user. Its a little thick but they are great knives.

 

[Gress]

And oddly enough I am in love with K9 Dingo at the moment while my user is SAR-4.
BATAC LE is very solid peace of INFI at .27" thick and is guarding my safe very successfully

 

[Mad_Maxx]

i'd take the SAR

 

[d762nato]

This one is sweet! :thumbup:

 

[EricV]

I'd take the K9. Love that handle shape.

If I didn't already own that collection, which I certainly don't, I'd buy a now ESEE RC-5 - and put the remainder towards a nice CRK - which I eventually did. Love my RC-5 - and the CRK/Wilson Combat Umnumzaan I recently bought. If it had to be one of the shown knives - I'd finally have my first Busse.
