Sweet blade! PM sent!

I only know it's an Anorexic Badger Attack Limited Edition.

Not sure about production dates, but someone here probably knows.

You'll never know numbers. Jerry simply doesn't release that information.

A few have sold on the Exchange in the past year or so. I'd advise you do a search there to determine market value.

I think its a BAIII LE, but would need a mic to determine that. It should go for about $800.

 

[kauai Marc]

It mic. at .15,is the handle snake skin?

 

[Guyon]

The handle is snakeskin. At .15, it is indeed an Anorexic version.

Here's one of its brothers.

 

[kauai Marc]

Were all the LE at .15,do you know of a thicker LE version?

 

[Guyon]

Not sure on this one. My assumption was/is that all the LEs were skinny, but I'm not positive.

Again, someone here will know, but the ABA LE release occurred before I started buying Busses.

 

[Gerberblades]

The BAIII LE is thicker.

[Guyon]

The BAIII LE is thicker.

There you go.

The Anorexic may be a more attractive blade for many of the folks who like thinner slicers. It's a great knife. :thumbup:

 

[Gerberblades]

Thats if you dare use such a knife.

There you go.

So is this one not considered a BAIII LE,even though it is numbered?
thanks guys for the info
Marc

 

[Gerberblades]

No, its an Anorexic Badger Attack, meaning its thinner than the regular BAIII's, which were also numbered.

I've always seen the designation as ABA LE, which I thought meant that it was a "Limited Edition" (thus the numbering).

I think we may need an older HOG here. Where's RedWolfHowlin when you need him? (He's probably conducting a back yard buy on this knife as I type.)

Here's one of his pics:

The practice on Blade Forum to replace the price with "SPF" makes it really difficult to research trends or prices.

It's seller's choice.

Not everyone does it.

I don't.

BTW- what does an BAIII LE look like, didn't know there was one other than ABA
Mine

 

[Matteo Escobar]

That is an Anorexic Badger Attack III (third generation Badger Attack) Limited Edition. All of the ABALE's were the same thickness, the same thickness as the original Custom Shop Active Duty.

That is one. They were satin finished with SS handles and #'d.
