I have loved the look of this blade since I first came to Busse Land. Heck I even had one a while back that I traded off to another HOG and have sorely missed her - And this one comes from an old Uncle of ours ..... :)

But now I am back in the saddle!! And with what BAIIIs are going for I think I did all right on this one.

My Euro 4 !! :D:thumbup::thumbup::D

(Its in transit - so here are their pics for now )

Ya - snagged her on the bay. Hope I did not bump anyone here for her :)
 
Very nice score! I am currently grounded from looking at Busses on evilbay. Self inflicted and very critical to my future financial well being.

Ummm I know what you mean - I am supposed to be banned from the bay myself by the SWMBO - so if she catches wind of this I am once again ..

..... A DEAD MAN!!:eek::eek:

Great score Doug, I was going to shoot for it but after I saw who was selling it I decided against it.:eek::D

So I snagged the satin meaner w/ tan slabs instead!!:foot::):cool:
 
That's a very nice score!! I'd gladly take a Euro 4 over a BAIII any day!!!

Does anyone have a photo of a Euro 4 and Tanker A side by side?

Given the seller, I thought this one should come home to us :)

And likewise - nice grab!:D

Thanks for posting that Buckman!

The Euro 4 doesn't look that much longer than the Tanker A than I was thinking. Maybe its the angle though.

I've already got a Tanker A, if the price was right I think I'd be very happy to own a Euro 4 as well!!!
 
I was SO tempted by that one and the Basic 5. The 5 went for a steal.

Good grab, Turner. It's pretty much a BA3, but not as wide a blade. (And fatter, obviously.) I love the old-logo on it too!
 
Ya - I was looking at the 5 and she did go for a sweet price. But I was watching this one too - and wondering how high was going to be enough for him not to pull the plug. :)

I am looking forward to getting her. I have been tempted by the old fashon SJs but this one is a more functional size. (and again it was cheaper than any Jack or BaIII that I have seen in a while!)

Why do you like it more than a BA-III?

I'm not keen on slicers (chubby chaser 100%), I find the height of the BAIII's blade in contrast to it's length to be visually unappealing and considering the price/availability of the BAIII, I think it makes more sense to upgrade and grab an original Satin Jack (or simply a Euro 4 / Tanker A at a more reasonable price).

This is all just my own personal preference and I think a lot of people might disagree, but generally speaking the BAIII just doesn't do it for me.

Still, gotta love those 3rd generation handles! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

i thought everyone pretty much liked uncle jarvis until he did what ever he did to get booted?? Im new here but i lurked around the exchange before joining and he did quite a bit of biz here. what did he do to get booted anyway. I emailed him on that particular knife and i even asked him why he didnt put it on the exchange and that didnt go over very well. He is still a tad sore. I guess anyone that gets booted from anything feels a bit p.o.'d for a while. Not defending, making an observation. But anyway, what did happen??
