Well the SOB seems to be getting a lot of attention so I figured I'd take some pics, give more detailed specs, and thoughts on the little bastar...I mean badger
For starters, the knife feels great. The SHBAs are among my favorite knives Busse has made, great feel, size, looks, everything. And this little badger mimics the feel great. It is a bit thin for my liking (my A2 fatty feels SO right to me though), but keeps everything thin and light.
This is a SOB placed over a SHBA, pins line up pretty dead nuts on. The handle on the SOB is shorter than the SHBA, but the beer gut sticks out more
SHBA, SOB, Basic 5
Next to a TA44
Mixed with gun porn (don't judge on the 20rd mag or the Zee Rings. Was benchshooting earlier to sight in the scope and the Zee Rings were the only spare rings I had that worked on the TA21)
Next to a Fortis Hammer
And in hand (my glove size is often large for reference, but it really depends on the glove too)
Blade thickness is 1.63, blade length is 4 11/16", 9 9/16" overall. The handle on my SHBA is 5 1/8" long for reference, compared to the 4 7/8" of the SOB. The beer gut on the SOB sticks out 1.306" at the widest, handle thickness is .835".
The slightly smaller handle on the SOB makes the knife feel a touch more solid IMO, because it prevents your hand from sliding a lot.
I don't have a scale that goes high enough to weight it unfortunately, but it is fairly light.
Overall, I love the old school lines. Can't wait to see a special release in ATS-34 or D2

:thumbup::thumbup: I really like that little SOB; I hope some show up at Blade, and AT THE SAME TABLE PRICE.
