Some ASH porn for you... to help you fight the urges of course....

I love that color combo in the last pic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Great pics, thanks!

Are there any smoothhandled ones, or are they all contoured?

Thanks!

I gotta call my tailor and cancel my pimp suit!

Are they all users? I know you've posted several ASH user pics in the past.
Also I know I've seen Busse with White Micarta before...

I have a skinny Ash and really it's a very useful and great allarounder!!! I would score one if I was you. After the SAR 6 it's my favorite 6" er out and I have had all of the BUSSE and Kin in that size. Except a Hell Razor

I couldn't use them all if I tried.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> The skinny and sage fatty are both users, the sage and B&T G10 I just got off gunfixrjoe will also spend plenty of time away with me. While I could not use all the knives I own is a lifetime I will not buy something that I could not see myself using. It is why I generally shy away from LE blades.

I didn't buy any standard, LE, or fat ASHs, but I bought 3 skinnies -- based on handling all at Knob Creek tables, they were my choice as best. The only ASH varient that I really missed buying was the 3B2, which was a very limited military overrun offered in the 2009 VetDayGanzaaa. Here's a picture of one that Knifehunter took and posted over on BladeForums (I assume that he wouldn't mind me posting it here):



It's the only version that I recall seeing with smooth/hand shaped handles. While I didn't get a 3B2 (or a "Hammered Warden", until later from the secondary market), I did land a pair of arctic white FSH with hand shaped handles and one 'bama clay FSH, so I did pretty well. However, while I prefer the FSH design to the ASH, I regret not having tried for a couple 3B2s as well. You rarely see them on the secondary market because there weren't many and the people who got them love 'em.

Here are links to the old 2009 VetDayGanzaaa pages -- it was one of the best ganza offerings ever:

Andy if you bring many more large pieces of INFI down there from this side of the world you'll throw the whole thing off it's axis with the weight shift <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Wow I love the 3b2 that does look like it was a heck of a ganza.

Found this one:



It would compliment my SFNO Le perfectly!
