I think the Steel Heart is one of the prettiest knives ever made. I am lucky I got one at Blade. Mine is a little scratched from chopping and batoning, but it is still a looker. In that tooled leather sheath that matches the texturing on the handle, it is the pride of my Busse collection. Even though I prefer the S6 as a user, the ASH-1 is still a very fine knife.
