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.
