BATAC help (pics and Qs pls)

[Waldganger]

Hey there guys.

I have the chance to get my hands on a BATAC for a very good price, and I was wondering if I could get a few shots from anyone with the same config.

first is a Snakeskin with black blade, and the other is black G10 with black blade.

I'm not completely sold on the snakeskin, but I'm not too keen on the G10

I tried searching but every pic thread took forever to load I think my server is playing up on me.

if you had the choice to pick JUST ONE for your user, which would you take?

also if I sanded back the black G10 would it still be black or would it fade a little?

Cheers guys

I have a Black/snake. The g-10 should have mags( I think) which I like but the g-10 is very heavy.
If you like a thinner handle go with the snake(looks better to me, and its micarta). If you want a wider heavy handle go with the G-10.

The Badger has one of the best snake patterns of all the Busses. I'd go snake. In fact, I did.

An added bonus is that snakeskin works well on modems.

If I were to choose between the two, I would snag the one with Snakeskin handles. I have two CGBATACs with Snakeskin handles, one with a Tan blade, and the other with Green. Here is my Green + Snakeskin one:

Here is the same knife, but a tad bloodied from dressing two antelopes in Wyoming:

Get the snakeskin. It won't be available for ever as Busse has a limited stock and it can't be replicated. It's a beautiful pattern. Looks good with the black coating, too.

Snakeskin Nukarta is the BEST! It looks even better with stripped INFI.

I have several and I would echo the snake, just because it can't be reproduced :thumbup: :thumbup:

The color runs all the way through the matrix. No fading will occur as a result of sanding. Everyone else has shown you a picture of the snakeskin canvas, so here is a shot of the black G10:

The Black paper looks sooo much better than the Black G-10.
Feels sooo much better than the g-10 as well.

WHEN WAS THERE BLACK PAPER MICARTA OFFERED FOR THE BATAC???

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE CUSTOM SHOP STILL OFFERS BLACK PAPER AS AN OPTION?

I am interested in getting a one of my BIBB's modded, blk paper/jungle camo :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Waldganger]

cheers guys

I'll grab the snakeskin when I get the cash in

Now I'll need a spec ops master sheath in tan for this, anyone know where I can get one cheap? shipping always kills me here.

Hey Wall,

Go for the Snakeskin mate, got me a beautiful Black/Snake FBM & BATAC combo!

Then you just need some nice pants to put them in

Enjoy,

I have the same combo in tan and snake. JohntheTexican has my snake/tan SJTAC, however.

And here's a snake and porkchop picture for no apparent reason.

I'd say that black paper TAC handle is probably attached to an NARK.

It wasn't. The knife on the left is a NARK (as noted by inFALable). I would love to hear that black paper was available but I doubt it is or will be. The black G10 in that picture was my Frosted Jack Custom. I had special ordered black paper and they called me and asked to substitute the G10 instead.
