We've gotten to see some comparisons of the new anniversary SH with several knives, but I don't think I've seen one with a BATAC. From what I can tell it isn't that much bigger, but I'd like to see for sure. So, if anyone can post some comparison shots it would be great.
 
I think that Ken or . . . oh fudge. Someone had a pile of SE's that included a pic of the Badger SE and the SH1A-SE.

I wonder what another .5" of blade would have gotten us? I love the look, but wonder if it were a squidge longer if it would be a better chopper/camp knife.
 
It's from a distance, but Ken44 has both:

Looks like it is reasonably bigger in all respects. Fatter blade and longer by an inch. About teh same handle-size, but slightly different style.
 
Thanks for reminding me of this photo, it helps. I'd still like to see a little closer comparison of the two though.

I'm with you Dennis, I'm wondering if a little more length wouldn't be better for a camp knife. I'm sure I'll get at least one; well, you know, just to have one. But for it to become my regular camp knife user I think I would like more length. I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open for an SHSH 2 in the exchange!

If you guys need a little longer knife just buy a FBM and send it to PimpDucci to be shortened. :D
Lot easier to make a big knife smaller than a small knife bigger. :p

I would but I don't like the fusion handle (just my preference, not knocking them). That is why I was so excited about the anniversary knife, but I think it is going to be a little short to be my personal ideal of a camping knife.

That is why I think I'll keep looking for an SHSH 2. YOU don't know anyone who had a bunch, who might part with one, do you?:)

Is he holding on to all of them for you, because you don't have room for all of them and all of your SHBAs?

That's what friends are for. :thumbup:
It's a floor loading issues at my current house but won't be a problem at the new house. :D

Yeah, but you're trading load problems for Sasquatch problems.

Need any new friends? I'd be glad to store some of those SHSH2s for you:)

Or you could alleviate your problem by reducing your inventory. I'd be glad to help you there too:D
 
I'm still hoping someone can post a side-by-side shot of the BATAC and the SH1a.
