Now that's a riddle! Solve it before 3:00pm EST today and win a valuable prize. . . (sort of valuable) See details below!

This is a slick little blade with a 6" long blade. It's sort of a Gentleman's boot/steak knife.. . . Better order it rare!!! ;)

That is so beautiful! Love the semi-fighter attitude it projects. Way to go, Jerry. Ya done it again. :D :D
 
If anyone solves the riddle before 3:00 pm today. . . .there's a free "Got INFI?" T-shirt in it for you. . . . (XXL or XXXL only, If you're smaller than that. . . .then you'll just have to boil it! ;))

Good Luck!

To get to the other side.

Because it was dead.

That was my wife.

Yeah, the single hole is the only thing that really struck me.

How about if the steel blank was originally intended for a BAE?
 
it was a BAE blank with the BAE profile. in order to increase blade length and straighten out the handle you cut a straight line diagnally from the tip to the end of the handle, since the diagnol is longer you gained some blade length.

Then you did some handle work and ground a very interesting "tanto like" tip.

Great knife.
 
I have no idea, but here are some classic punchlines:

Rectum? D*mn near killed 'em!
You're two tents
'fraid knot
Arrr, it's drivin' me nuts!

enjoy!:rolleyes: :confused: :footinmou

No idea...
Best guess? (SWAG) it is a BAE design stretched (and the handle straightened) on the computer, then cut. The choil looks elongated and the blade thinner and longer. It looks like a stretched and straightened BAE...:confused:
Nice knife though. I can see the Tanto-esque tip there, a little reminiscent of the Public Defender, which has its own similarities to the BAE.
Maybe that's it? The PB is a BAE varient, and this is a stretched variant of the PB?
Or I could be losing my marbles...:rolleyes: [Assuming of course I ever had any...]

IMHO, it's a cross between the Original Badger Prototype and the 6" E knife that was to replace the Badger E.:cool:

It's an original Badger Prototype!!! I think it's totally cool. Notice the straight handle with lanyard hole, blasted finish, linen micarta handles, hollow grinding, and modified clip point!!! What a killer knife Jerry!!!

From Andy Prisco on 6-7-00 @ 1:18 PM:
The second from the bottom is the new 6" E knife...it will eventually replace the Badger E, which WILL be produced in a limited number to fill orders, then cease.

From Andy Prisco on 4-17-00 @ 11:45 PM:
Badger Attack E (which will be a limited run to fill existing BA orders, then discontinued...the model is being replaced by its two 3.5" and 6" counterparts...both will have the E-style handle, though on the 3.5", the handle will not be at a dropped angle, but straight)

forged out of a BAE INFI blank (tripple-quenched in CBL)

naaah

That's too much CBL wasted!
