The original was perfect. Even with the saber grind. It is one of the best general knives I have, bar none. The only reason the TGULB beats it is because it is long enough to baton-split wood. But as a general camp knife, the original HOG Badger cannot be beat (IMO). I REALLY hope that Jerry eventually does a re-run of those. Or even the shorter Badgers. I've got enough big/long knives.

All that being said, I have NO doubt these are going to be FANTASTIC knives. Just that I'll stick with my OG HOG Badger. If Jerry does the OG in a 0.18, though... I'm in.

And speaking of options, why not a sawback option as well? I’d buy one! 😎👊

See now look at that micro choil. It’s basically all inside the ricasso costing you very little, if any, cutting edge. Absolutely love it! ❤️

I ordered the full rounded choil and micro on the retrievers. The full is perfect for blade control on skinning. So I think it’s great for the new BHB

That’s great to know thanks TENTEX TENTEX

I passed altogether on the retrievers bc of the huge ricasso on the choiless option. But I’m not passing on this one so will probably go with large round in that case!

I find it to be a little on the thick side, a .16-.18 with the full height grind would be the perfect knife for me.
Currently use mine for hunting and camping, everytime I pull it it out I think to myself what a nice knife, wish it was thinner. If custom shop ever opened I'd pay big $ for one. I keep asking Jerry... so far no luck. Maybe IL start writing 2 letters a week 😏
 
Exactly what I was looking for ! Thanks for posting this! Now for the price differences :))

Well, ok, sure, ok... of course I know there is no such thing as the perfect survival knife... but this is it. So I ordered one with a large choil, and now I'm doing mindfulness, yoga and whiskey (Buffalo Trace is good for this) to help with my lack of patience.... this is going to be so sweet!!! THANKS from a happy Swede!!!! .... and INFI and all... wow... too bad those survival situations I prepare for all the time are so rare.... maybe not dringggkeeing enough fhiskeyy..
