Congrats Andy!! I love my ASH-1 too! It's Definitely my favorite Knife in that Size range.

.27"? Must be a one off. I've never heard of one in that thickness! I would love to try it out. .32" is too thick on a 6 3/4" blade for my tastes, but but .27" I could probably work with.

Mine is Black with (OD?) Green Canvas Micarta Mags - .225" thick with a distal taper, which makes it perfectly weighted and balanced in my opinion.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours...Come on Andy, we need some of your gorgeous pics!co

The color choice for my barnesbands lanyard was pretty easy for this blade.

The handles on the ASH-1 are perfection in my opinion. They fill the hands perfectly and provide such an excellent grip.

I am by and large a Kydex man, but for some reason I felt my ASH needed a black leather sheath. This one happens to be from Chuddy Bear. Have you decided on a sheath yet?


Congrats again! I really love my ASH, and think you will love yours more and more. I can't wait to see yours!!
