Congrats To All The Dogs Getting A TRASH1

I would like to congratulate all the Dogs that got in on the Trash1.

We completely sold out of this model. It will go down in the history books as one of the most popular Scrap Yard knives

Enjoy your well founded success

Long Live The Brotherhood Of The Yard

Dan

Thanks Dan
I look forward to receiving the TRASH

You bet...the fun begins when you take this Dog out and work it hard

Dan

I'll take it....no wait...I have already done that part....

Glad I got me a couple headed my way, even more glad that something else will be along in about 2 weeks….

We have to receive it from you first Dan!

Thanks,
I can't wait to get my hands on it

I am excited to wait to be excited when I get it! :-)

I ordered one when it was going to be made of 1095 and another one when the switch to SR101 was made, I can't wait!!!

Well as Gomer used to say, SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE!

Got told I have one of these coming! Patty, after I told her I ordered a BGASH1 to quickly, that If I would have waited I could have saved myself about a hundred bucks took it upon herself to order me one! She gave up getting something she wanted so I could have this latest goodness from Dan the Dumpster Diving Man as she knows I have a soft spot for The Busse Boys Wares.

Yeah, I reckon I'll go ahead and keep her for a while yet.

A keeper for sure.....how about building a pedestal and putting her on it.

I want to meet this lady!!!!

Good for you

Dan

Haha, I seldom let her off the pedestal I keep her on. I'm afraid she may meet someone like you or (shudder) Tom and think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

She's almost 60 but I wouldn't trade her for 3 20 year olds!

When the TRASH1 starts getting into our hands, someone please weigh one so I can put it in the knife specs thread.

I don't have access to anything but drug scales and they don't weigh in pounds!

Now Randy, you have been fearful of that ever since I said she could play with my Tali-Whacker!

Good to have you so often in the forum the last couple of days Dan!

Yeah and she DID SAY you had a big one. Grrrr

Well...................................... ..........

BUT she said that mine is a handful.

Then she is happy with BOTH of us! ....................

^^

Of course I missed out. That's what I get for not checking in more often.

I can't wait either... I've wanted an ASH for quite a while, and then the TRASH-1 popped up and I dove in puppy paws first! Yea!!!

I ordered my two when it was going to be 1095 steel and was VERY happy when it turned out to be SR-101. Dan DEFINITELY brought it to us this time!!!

I'm super excited to get mine, I'm a general contractor and can see using that beast to chop some unruly 2x4s or pry a house off its foundation. Whatever the days stress requires.

I would imagine you'll be able to pick one up on the secondary market. Even if there's some markup you could probably still pick one up pretty reasonably.

I've got my BG ASH in but haven't used it yet, waiting to run it side by side with the TRASH

YUP, What Grog said.

I hope I will be able to pick one up on the secondary market but my luck with that usually isn't very good. I'm willing to pay a little mark up but people usually go overboard on the mark up.

It never hurts to try and haggle over the price; the worst they can do is say "no".

What do yo consider overboard?

100% markup?

Plus shipping!

MM

within the US I guess you can buy every knife...you can sell them so easy...no taxes, LOTS of knife enthusiasts...

YUP, sometimes living overseas can be a real bummer.

You know, after looking at the pictures closely I realized that the top (spine side) is kinda sorta one continuous curve from butt to tip. Also the handle has a slight downward angle from the "Choil" to the butt of the knife not straight like the ASH. This might well lend itself more toward the chopping/bushcraft usage than as a "Fighter". I know it was designed as an all rounder, but it will work in a pinch for just about anything. Just a couple things I noticed after looking at the comparison pictures.

Here is the Post I am talking about over at Jerry's forum.

Been tempting seeing a few pop up on the exchange!

Cool thread on that link Randy
I agree,should be a great all arounder. Wish I could have bought two. Destined to be a classic grail.

I am loving mine so far and it is a tank which I love.

Three arrived at my place last night !!! Two are mine...

They are a very nice blade !!!!

This is what happens when I jump in the middle of a thread without reading the whole thing....

The Trash is inna House!

Happens to all of us Gary.

YUP, it's lighter than the ASH, I STILL wish it was 3/16 but I can live with this. Don't get me wrong, I LIKE the way the ASH1CG feels but it's just to heavy for my girly hands.

If this thing was 3/16 inch thick instead of 1/4 I think it would be prefect! Oh and It fits in the smaller Cordura sheath they sold on the site a few years ago like it was made for the knife.

AND this just goes to prove Dan can't please everyone, no matter how much he wants to or how hard he tries. That said, this is a GREAT compromise/knife, one I will carry with pride and without the fear it may fail on me.

You ARE hard to please!

3/16 would be great or a TRASH variant with a Full Flat Grind

mines a keeper (user) for sure though

MM

I'd be in for a 3/16" FFG Trash.

I am a tough knife freak and can deal with the limitations the extra thickness has just to know I will never break it. That being said I did go for the leaner chopper in the last sale just because of the extra blade size over the Trash.

I got mine last week, and it ROCKS!!!!
The Res-C fits my hand very nicely, the blade shape is awesome and its a bit front heavy which I like. I'm gonna try it out choppin' veggies this week.
