You make sure you wear her well, but she still ain't my "Red Lady" Customized SH!Here is one of Walking Mans long lost children, but she is too well loved to much more than ride proudly on my hip while I play in the woods and cut limes for my tequila

I can understand that sentiment. I didn't really get it either until I had one, but it's almost like Paul's hatchet in a way. Because of the curve of the handle and the shortness of the blade, you can really bear down on the knife and getting cutting done where a bigger knife couldn't give you as much leverage. Think of the it almost like a bigger version of the Pork Belly skinner.I never really "got" the BA-e. The handle to blade ratio is wrong for my tastes. That being said, I would love to find an INFI SH Badger languishing in a garage sale somewhere.

Quoting myself here again to say that the SHBA is a lot closer to the BA3 than the BAE, which is truely a unique knife. Neither of those will let you bear down the way the BAE will because of it's thick blade and curvy handle.I can understand that sentiment.
