The SarSquatch is still a grail knife for me, maybe if I sell all my existing knives.......... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I sold my unmodified one in last year's horndog ganza. But I kept my ASH-1s and my pointy Sarsquatch. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/SARBowie007.jpg) That looks great Vic as all your mods do but I have to admit to liking the original shape more, I just hope that Dan releases a similar shaped version to the SarSquatch with a res-C handle !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Man I've always loved the mod on this one, Vic, again, Great JOB! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I'm still planning on doing that to mine someday, never cared too much for the original tip myself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That looks great Vic as all your mods do but I have to admit to liking the original shape more, I just hope that Dan releases a similar shaped version to the SarSquatch with a res-C handle !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> I liked it too, Justin. That's why I kept 2 of them for a while. Too bad you missed my sell off last year. If I had known you were looking for one, I'd have sold it to you.

Everyone seems to like the RMD. I think I have to get one.

You will not be disappointed. I've never seen a bad word about that blade.

WarDog, course I don't have a RMD. But I still like the Wardog blade shape.

I am in the Busse minority. I like my knives thin and knife to knife prefer Res-C to Kraton. I also go from 4 to 6 to 9 plus. I don't seem to like 5 inchers as well as 4 or 6. Anything over 6 might as well be a thin 9 or 10 to me. Example SOD is 17.2 ounces and Dogfather LE is 16.8. I think the 9-11 is even lighter than the Dogfather LE so I can't wait to try it out.
My favorite Busse over 4 inches is the skinny ASH with mag handles. They are around from time to time. Happy hunting at BLADE.
Be prepared.......It is more than a motto it is a way of life.

I have a esse 4 and it's never big enuff to split wood but like it for detailed work so I

I love the Skinny ASH-1. Mine is really skinny. I convexed it from spine to final edge. It slices, dices, chops, and splits wood. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/ASH-1SK005.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Busse/ASH1008.jpg)
