BA 3 or BA-E ??????

[J.Vervoorst]

Hi,
I need the help of experienced Infiholics on this! Initially, I wanted to get a BA 3 before they are discontinued. But now there's also a BA-E available from Ranger288. I'm looking for a user blade also suitable for EDC. What would be your decision?
Thanks,
Jan

I personally like the thinner blade of the BA3. If it is going to be a user, let the use decide. If slicing, skinning is prinary use, I like the BA3. If heavier duty such as prying, digging, etc. is possible, maybe a premium for the discontinued BAe is worth it. On the other hand, I love the E-handles.
