SilverBullets,

I would have a ASH-1 like yours in a minuet!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I bought my ONLY Busse knife when money was laying around for it. It was a Game Warden. I bought it in Urban Grey with Grey Micarta scales.

I hated it. It has been a year now and I still hate it. I bought that combo because at the minute I was ready that was the only one offered. I freaked out and thought if I don't get this one I'll NEVER get one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I don't hat it because of the drab colors I hate it because the handle to blade ratio is not right. I have neckers with more hootspah! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

It just is a odd size and I never use it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" />

Your ASH-1 is beautiful! I love the size and shape. And those G I A N T scales are awesome! I love that tan on the grey. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I am certain that when you get a sheath so you can carry that bad boy you will make it a EDC as often as possible! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

The Game Warden I am shackled with is my Busse bane. It sits on a shelf begging to grow up into a Active Duty or ANYTHING but a Warden.
I look at it a lot. I reminds me to be patient. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Good job on yours though! It's a beauty!


Peace.


I have never owned a Game Warden, but I picked up a Swamp Warden to see if I would like it since it was so much better priced. But, I didn't like the Swamp Warden. The handle shape just did NOT fit or feel well in my hand.

Considering how similar the Swamp Warden is to the Game Warden, I don't really understand how either are so popular. I think there is some brain-washing going on sometimes.
And the Game Warden has a silly Talon Hole. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> - Fine for larger knives I guess, so long as not over-sized in the guard, but silly on smaller knives IMO.

The SS4 BLOWS the Wardens away. The AD would be awesome except for the dumb over-sized choil and useless Talon Hole. Same for the Meaner and Culteluss.
Oh well. Busse makes great choppers. Good smaller knives seem kind of random.

Unfortunately for me, I care about smaller 3.5" - 6" and the little details that make these knives good much more than I care about choppers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />
