Thanks my fellow Hogs!

I think the handels are refered to as snakeskin - with red strips running through it as well.

A really nice package.

Verrrry nice! I saw what was called a clip point Badger Attack on Ebay recently and couldn't see the difference between it and the Tanker, except that it had the custom shop logo. Can anybody fill me in?

Thanks,
Dave

The Tanker A's are 1/4" thick and the Badger III's are 3/16" thick. I hope this helps (and I hope my memory is correct on this point )

 

[BillyJoeBob]

Aren't the Tankers blade length inbetween that of the Badger and the SJ?

I still wish I had to pass on that offer! Nice blade!

Cheers,

Where does the Euro-4 fit in the spectrum?

 

[Doberman_Dave]

Thanks for the Tanker/Badger Clip Point scoop!

 

[rtiger2]

I think most BA3s were 3/16. But the owner of the clip point on recently on Ebay said that the clip point BA3 was .20" thick. Maybe someone with both can straighten this out.

Don't forget that there was another version: The so-called Anorexic Badgers.
The two in this photo mic out at .150 (desert tan) and .152 (snakeskin).
The tan one has a distinct swedge also, which the snakeskin version is missing.

You can sorta see the swedge in this shot:
