I love my ASH-1.

It was my first Busse. While it's heavy, it punches above its weight class for sure. However, it's still very usable for delicate tasks. I used mine yesterday to peel and slice an apple. It's thickness to length ratio puts it in a class of its own. It has enough heft to chop fairly well, but is short enough so that if you choke up, you have good tip and edge control.
