Nemesis, I thought the same thing, but if you look at the prospective pictures in the thread announcing the knife, you'll see a picture of this anorexic BA III next to a BAD, and the BA III is somewhat smaller than the AD! It almost looks like the BA III is something like a 3" blade with the thinner stock of the AD. THAT would make it a perfect EDC for me! Well worth the money at almost any price, and one I'd likely try to get in on! Take a look, maybe I'm wrong, but I hope not!
Sincerely,
Anthony
