Rather than bore folks with the technical details, since most here are familiar with the ASH-1, I wanted to show the knife's handiness and versatility. The thinner blade of the Skinny version is so light in the hand, it can do as a mini-machete, carver, slicer, woodcraft, and fighter. If I could change one thing about it, it would be to remove the lower talon hole on the pommel so that I don't get a pinky burn when chopping. But if I hold it right, that doesn't happen. The broad pointed blade reminds me a lot of the Spanish knives that the Vaqueros used. They were also knives used for everything.
