Is this exactly attack of this animal - badger:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badger

or it is somehow related to soviet Tu16 bomber (Badger by NATO classification):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-16

or it is something else?

Thanks, Vassili.

P.S. I am trying to write review on this knife and run search on wikipedia on Badger. I did this to learn what "Game Warden" means - "Game Warden, the officer empowered to enforce the Game laws of a jurisdiction" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warden
I thought that "Badger attack" may be some military or hunting term like "Game Warden".
 
I believe it's because the shape of the blade is similar to the animal Badger. Short and wide and tougher than nails. I could be wrong though.
 
I always thought it was because badgers are supposed to be meaner than crap house rats, that and it is all wrapped up in a small package.
 
I spent four years in the USMC and am a student of military history. I have never heard Badger Attack used as a military term or slang.

My guess is that the term refers to a badgers teeth. Badgers have large tough teeth that chew through logs. The blade is tall and tough like a badger's teeth. My BATAC does a great job spliting logs and light chopping jobs. (My two cents worth)

Vassili, I think you are over thinking it my man. Badgers are mean animals when crossed and if they attack you, it isn't going to be fun. :D Just like getting on the business end of one of these knives.
 
Maybe I should get A Badger for history's sake:confused:

This guy was the second best cyclist that ever lived. (No Lance Armpit wasn't the best)

"Hinault's cunning, strength and bravery earned him the title, "Le Blaireau", or "The Badger" and perhaps summed up the character of a man who refused to be beaten even when the odds were stacked against him.
In the early 1980's, Bernard Hinault was to suffer at the hands of fate, as a recurring knee injury would see him forced out of the 1983 season in spite of having already won the Tour of Spain and the Fleche Wallone classic races earlier in that year."

Also the third guy to wine five Tours and that was before EPO.


 
"Diet
North American Badgers are carnivorous and prey predominantly on pocket gophers, ground squirrels, moles, marmots, prairie dogs, woodrats, kangaroo rats, deer mice, and voles. They also prey on ...... hibernating skunks."
:eek: :eek: :eek:

No wonder he keeps them locked up at night!!!
