I know it is large for a "Bushcraft" blade for traditional thinkers, but still I think it will be a GREAT all around blade.


Thanks Skunk! The main draw of Res-C to me is the shock absorbing ability it provides in chopping duties. If this is really more of a bushcraft-style knife, I don't think I can justify picking one up. Covered in the bushcraft dept with an RMD and Mud Mutt. Covered in the chopping dept with 911 and 1311.

Still...so tempting, why did Dan have to change it from 1095 to SR-101 grin

Evil Spock. At the price you better get one. Personally it is the blade shape I have always wanted Dan to bring out. I LOVE that blade profile. It should suffice as a LIGHT chopper, being a quarter inch thick it will do a passable job just not on a par with dedicated chopper type knives. I ordered a BGASH1 when I saw the price and Dang it if Dan didn't come out with his own LOWER PRICED version with the same steel! I should have waited. Oh well, this will be my dedicated belt knife, at least for a while until I see how it really works out for me. Your mileage may of course vary depending on your using habits. wink

Yeehaw! Hey Dan, sold another one for Ya, where's my Kickback! wink

Seriously I don't think you will regret it. It's I think pretty much the perfect size blade (UNDER 7 inches) for an all around tool. I wouldn't even be upset if it were 6 inches. I personally would rather it be 3/16 inch thick (The BGASH! and the TRASH1 both), but that is cause I am OLD SCHOOL (Yeah I'm approaching 62) and have just grown more used to that blade thickness for MOST uses.

If you want to get the FULL story about the uses/usefullness of the ASH/TRASH blade profile, just check in with Andy the Aussie. PERSONALLY I am really looking forward to this.

Now If I can just get confirmation that they placed my BGASH1 order when I called them on the phone.

I'm kinda bummed. I think we would've had a really value priced group of knives with 1095. Yes, we can still buy the TRASH at SR101 prices but it won't last, and it probably won't happen again. 18 THOUSAND pounds of 1095, c'mon, give us some 1095 k-nives! smile

Well, by MY calculations today is the last day you can get the TRASH1 at the OLD 1095 price of $139.95. It is now slated to jump 30 bucks. SO if you haven't ordered yet, and don't want to fork out another 30 bucks, ORDER NOW and tell 'em Skunk sent Ya! wink

Correct. The price change will go into effect at roughly 7:00 o'clock this evening...that's Eastern Time

So if you are going to do it...now would be good.

Tomorrow it will be $169.95 and will remain at that price until they are gone.

By the way, Dogs do like their SR101. They are going so fast I'm not sure how long they will last...hopefully through the next week or so.

I believe this blade will go down in history as one of the most popular SYKCO blades

Enjoy

Dan
