I'm still resisting; the Sage/Black micartas sold out quickly. I still saw Black/Black micarta appear (for a short time) this morning at the BCS, but it's been several hours since I've seen one drop. All that's left are the Black/Black & Tan G10s (which I think look best, although they're priced $40 higher than micarta). The ASH design doesn't even appeal to me much, yet I can't stop checking on them.

Who's ordered a Skinny ASH since they went up last night, and why? I know that new stuff will be released for Blade, and hopefully some scraps will will be available online, so I'm holding out (but just barely).

I've been checking a lot too, but only in case the SAR4 shows up. I really like the blades but between my hellrazor and proxy SJTAC I really don't think the skinny ASH has anything to offer. It is sweet though. If I didn't have any INFI yet, I might jump on the thin stock/flat spine.

I'd be a lot more likely to go for one if they had some combo that didn't have black. Then I'd probably only be able to hold out for a few days. I think my all-time favorite color combo is the desert olive w/ OD&tan G10 from that ganzaa.

Jim, I got a Skinny ASH to go with my Fat ASH. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I got mine for obvious reasons... to make pants. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I kinda like the Fat ASH with standard handles, and I'm really interested in seeing how the Skinny with Mags feels, in comparison.

I was able to resist until this morning myself, but then it got the best of me and I talked myself into it by saying I'd regret it if I didn't go ahead now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

the grip looks almost exactly like a mag hellrazor, except for the lower talon.

I wasn't jumping up and down happy with the Fat ASH-1 but when I got my LE I found out what it was about!! Couldn't resist another Anorexic ASH-1! Black w/ Black & Tan Mag G-10. Hey rainwalker, what about a black leather dangler for the ASH-1 and black SAK Tinker pouch?

I got a black on black one last night. This is my first piece of ASH so I hope it is good!!! LOL

I sent you a PM. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


I just can't wait to get that new skinny ASH!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Congrats to you guys who got one - they sound sweet! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

They're either all sold, or in people's carts now.

Got my Fat ASH and was pleased.

Got my ASH LE and was ecstatic!

Saw the Skinny ASH and could not pass on it... Black/Black inbound. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I saw a post on BladeForums that more skinnies went up. I checked, and Sage is sold out, but the others are in stock. I've spent my limit (at least for the first half of the month) on BADs and a 32Gig flash drive. I don't remember nearly as much new stuff at the company store this close to Blade last year; does it seem unusual to anyone else?

Black/Black micarta went out of stock as I was composing -- it's just the Black & Tan G-10s left.
