I could be wrong on the thickness...I was in no fit state to measure it ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> And that who Imperial/Metric thing throws me.....really wish you lot would catch up with the rest of us on that .... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

It cam with a leather MikeyMoto sheath but I am not fond of danglers and it is left handed (I am not) so it went to another Hog in Canada....it is a really well traveled sheath !!

I will get some pics tomorrow .....just off to work thanks to a call out/attempt suicide... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Congrats you LUCKY dog ! I'd love to get my hands on a nice ASH-1 . But , I have gotten a few pretty great knives lately , so I'm not complaining <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Whats the height of the blade?
I was able to find other specs but not the height


MM

The height is 1 7/8" if I remember correctly.

The CG is .32" thick and a whopping 20 something ounces, while the LE is .225" thick.

Mine is the same thickness as the LE under the handles up until the ricasso. At the plunge line, it tapers down to around .2" and gradually tapers towards the tip.

I'm guessing Andy got the ASH-1 CG, which is a behemoth. I've had the opportunity to play with one and it's awesome as a do-it-all camp knife. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one, but I was looking for something lighter in that size range when I went looking for an ASH.

Anyways, this thread is not about me. Congrats again Andy! I think the ASH-1 is a lifetime classic in any thickness!

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.

Nice score

can't wait for your great pics of this knife!!!!!!!! the skinny ash is on my short list of must have's!!!!

Here's some a pic for those waiting to see it.

Letting go of my Skinny ASH is the single worst knife decision I ever made. I love that knife.
