Almost the same knife except for a small clip on the Tanker A. I owned an ABA and the more full belly of the blade made it feel unorthodox for me. I think one of these might be closer to unseating the SHBA as a Grail 4"er.

Thanks for the picture Buckman!
The Boss ST seems more like an updated straight-handled Tanker-A, BAIII, ABA and EURO4 than a Mean Street cousin. Not a true straight handle though as the spine arcs slightly like an old SH blade.
Comparing it to the Tanker-A, ABA, BAIII and EURO4, the plunge line is closer to the front of the slabs and the area where the index finger rests is fuller on the BOSS ST. Also the choil has been tucked under the front of the slab on the BOSS ST which is a step in the right direction to me.
This BOSS ST is really growing on me.
Anyone have all three together?

It has unseated all the straight handled Gen3 blades from my throne for sure.
The SHBA is a different breed though. It's a full size handle, with a nice manageable blade length. The BOSS ST is more in the large EDC size.

Sorry, man... I can't help ya on this one. Missing 2 of the 3 requested.
The BOSS Street is definitely a knife with the potential to grow on you. When I first received it, I just didn't like it as far as handle weight goes. Let's face it... It's got a little 'junk in the trunk'!
...But within a week, I had not only changed my mind 180°, but decided to make one a user. :thumbup::thumbup: It's a great knife and very comfortable in the hand.
