The BA III Appreciation Thread

[Volk]

I don’t blame you, but I’ve always wanted to try this one probably because of the high price tag and why they fetched so much?
The BJ and UG are way bigger
The last ba3 LE on ebay went for over 6 so I backed out . Was going to bid at the last second like I always do but when the price jumped I backed out. This is a LE but with a coating which is 250 dollars less so no big deal to me.
So back to the green linen …
Turns out you can feel a silky feeling if you drag your forefinger down the rope cut.. who knew…
Holding in your hand I don’t think you can see the difference.
So my Bowie cut Shsj is green linen the rest is Os black micarta

I can’t see a difference on the Buffalo Soldier
But I can feel the difference

They are definitely bigger. But they fulfill that 1 knife niche nicely.

I had but lost the original Jerry thread from 2002 where he posted official release of the BA3 I recall he details the PD in it too. Can’t remember. Anyone that can dig up would be cool to see

Here’s some original offering info below on the BA3 variants

ABA - Anorexic Badger Attack (2004 Ganzaa): $187 w/ micarta, $157 w/ cord wrap
ABA LE - Anorexic Badger Attack Limited Edition (2003): $297, Special offer pricing HERE
ADBA - Anorexic Desert Badger Attack (2003): $217, Special offer pricing HERE
BA3 - Badger Attack 3 (2002): $197, $232 w/ snakeskin

Had no idea ABA had a cheaper cord wrap option!

I know there a JABA too. Jungle Anorexic BA3.

I had a big box full of all of these at one point, looking back now I pretty much gave them away.
