USPS Victory!

Great perseverence on chasing down the post-woman! I know the disappointment of the dreaded pink slip and having to wait til the morning (happened with one of my Badgers). On my second Badger I was fortunate enough that it was packaged in a small enough box to go in the mail box (I live in a neighborhood with locking boxes); that was a great thrill -- reach in for the mail, pull out a Badger.

The comparison pix are great. I have an SFNO and the Badgers are much smaller, so it was interesting for me to see how similar in size they are to the NO-e.

I love handles that allow multiple grips. For me the SF handle is the best for that, but the TAC handle is good. It allows the four grips I use the most -- standard, choke up on the choil, back to the pommel for chopping (though the Badger is marginal for this IMO), and the reverse grip (icepick). Your pix illustrate these well. This is why I have gone after the E-handles or the fusion handles; they just don't seem like they'd work for all the grips I use.
 
Now I can't wait to get home and throw this baby a few times. The grip feels like it would lend itself easier to throwing than the Ergos would. I also want to try out the hand drill method or fire bow method for a small fire tonight. So some batonning is in order. :)
 
Glad you got your knife. We wait months and months without complaint but when that infi is near our homes it becomes an absolute impossibility to let those blades remain a second longer than they must in the hands of the USPS I feel for you I am glad my Batac did not come insured cause I always miss the mail and end up at the post office after work. The clerks can never find my package and never know what time the mailman will return. Luckily they always do manage to locate it after they say it is not there. Happened with my FBMLE and SJT. I really felt for you man.
 
Just because...

Throwing the BATAC... (530kb)


Sorry for the poor quality but it was getting late. At least I keep hitting the same spot. You can see the BATAC hits the spot the NO-E has already shredded. I didn't really do too much throwing with it but so far it feels like my NO-E is the better thrower. Of course that could be do to having practiced with the NO-E a lot more.
