I snagged a black/black to my basket, however after considering it I threw it back. Who knows what blade will have and the $430 on a Skinny ASH (knife, sheath & shipping/tax/duties) may be better spent elsewhere! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

i messed up & ordered a tan sheath(thinking the blk/tan handles would be tan)....should have gotten a black one I was surprised to find that my first Busse Black/Tan was really Black/White too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> My Skinny ASH arrived today. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Excellent blade and the micarta mags feel great. If I had to rank my ASHs in order of which I would take hiking as my primary medium sized blade it would go #1 LE, #2 Skinny, #3 CG.

I suppose that the beer reference is better for marketing, but they're pretty much black and grayish-to-bright white -- Personally, I like the contrast of that G-10 handle combination a lot though. I don't think it looks bad with a tan sheath, although if you really hate it, you might be able to trade for a different sheath -- possibly even exchange it with Skunk if you haven't put any wear on it yet. Also, I've never tried, but can G-10's color be chemically altered (dyed)?

i got mine... Congrats on the Black & Tan. I got my Black & Black, Saturday. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I really like the contrast between my Fat Black & Black ASH and my skinny ASH. It's kinda like a diet commercial... before... after... before... after. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm pretty sure that G-10 is something that would have to be pigmented when it is first made.
