Happy to provide. Glad you like and find helpful.

Thanks for the ASH1-CG weight info. I don't have the CG and while I have some reference sources for other Busse knives, I haven't been able to find the weight for the CG ASH1.

I was thinking 19.1 ounces seemed pretty light for the massively thick ASH1-CG. So, I checked an online weight calculator that showed: 595 gram = 20.98800736 ounce (I'll go ahead and call that 21.0 ounces - since some Busse blades have slight weight differences. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

Also, I weigh my NMSFNO at 21.5 ounces (posted above). So, 21 - 21.5 or so sounds about right. Again, with some slight variation to your 590 grams. But, I don't think it is uncommon for Busse blades to have variations of a half an ounce or so. For that matter, I have read on the Busse forum that some of the NMSFNO's had some slight variation in thickness as well.

I don't actually have a highly accurate gram scale either. I have a pretty decent postage scale that only measures to half ounces and a spring scale that I estimate down to about a quarter ounce or so. But, the spring scale is only good up to 16 ounces - so smaller knives. I have a gram scale on my list of things to pick up some day. But, I have a LOT of things on my list (and bills <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> ) and my Busse and kin addiction is killing me and the rest of my list. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />


In any event, for all to know, there are variations in weights from knife to knife within the same design. So, give or take a half ounce or so and sometimes even more.
